Freshchat + Claude

Manage Freshchat (live chat + messaging: users, conversations, messages, channels, agents) from any AI agent. 9 tools, Bearer token.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

FRESHCHAT_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Freshchat API v2 (per-region — api.freshchat.com/v2).

Setup:

  1. Log into your Freshchat portal → ⚙️ → Account Settings → API Tokens → Generate Token.
  2. Note your region — Freshchat hosts data per region: api.freshchat.com (US), api.eu.freshchat.com (EU), api.au.freshchat.com (AU), api.in.freshchat.com (IN). Change baseUrl to match.
  3. Set FRESHCHAT_API_TOKEN.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${FRESHCHAT_API_TOKEN}.

Conversation model: User → Conversation → Messages[]. A conversation is associated with at most one user; messages carry actor + actor_type (user, agent, system).

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Install the adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

  1. Open claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Click "Add custom connector".
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Freshchat
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Click Connect to authorize.
