Freshdesk + Claude
Drive Freshdesk (customer support helpdesk) from any AI agent: tickets, contacts, companies, agents, conversations. 16 tools, API-key Basic-auth, per-domain base URL.
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:
FRESHDESK_DOMAIN, FRESHDESK_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
freshdesk.com).
Setup:
- Sign in to Freshdesk → top-right avatar → Profile Settings → Your API Key (right sidebar).
- Copy the key. Set:
FRESHDESK_DOMAIN= your account subdomain (e.g.acmeif URL isacme.freshdesk.com)FRESHDESK_API_KEY= the API key
Authentication: HTTP Basic with username=API_KEY, password='X' (any non-empty). The adapter handles this via BASIC_AUTH with username={{FRESHDESK_API_KEY}} and password=X.
Subdomain in base URL: https://{{FRESHDESK_DOMAIN}}.freshdesk.com/api/v2. Wrong subdomain → 404 with vendor's branded 'Page not found'.
…(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 Claude
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.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
