helpscout.com/mailbox-api).
Setup:
- Sign in to Help Scout → Manage → Apps → My Apps → Create My App.
- Pick app type:
- Personal Access Token (single-user): get a token from your profile → API Keys → Personal Access Token. Token expires after 2 days — refresh needed.
- OAuth2 App (multi-user / longer-lived): standard OAuth2 client-credentials or auth-code flow.
- Set
HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKENto the access token.
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKEN}. Tokens expire — your orchestrator handles refresh.

"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
