Freshchat + Cursor
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:
- Log into your Freshchat portal → ⚙️ → Account Settings → API Tokens → Generate Token.
- 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. - Set
FRESHCHAT_API_TOKEN.
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${FRESHCHAT_API_TOKEN}.
Conversation model: User → Conversation → Messages[]. A conversation is associated with at most one user; messages carry actor + actor_type (user, agent, system).
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Cursor
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify
Freshchatis listed and "Connected". - Start chatting — all
Freshchattools are now invokable.
