Zendesk MCP Server

A Zendesk MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Kojo. Gives Claude access to support tickets and Help Center articles for trend analysis, knowledge base management, and customer insight research.

Example usage

• "Fetch all tickets from the past week and provide an analysis of any trends you find"

• "Pull last month's solved tickets and identify the top 5 feature gaps driving support volume"

• "Search our help center for articles about approvals — are there any gaps we should fill?"

• "Draft a new help center article explaining how to set up invoice matching"

      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/zendesk-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN": "your-subdomain",
