Help Scout + Claude

Drive Help Scout (shared inbox + helpdesk) from any AI agent: conversations, customers, mailboxes, tags, threads. 13 tools, OAuth2 Bearer auth.

前提条件

完整的设置说明已内置在连接器中 (在 store 中选择连接器时可见)。所需环境变量:

HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKEN

步骤 1 — 获取凭证

helpscout.com/mailbox-api).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to Help Scout → Manage → Apps → My Apps → Create My App.
  2. 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.
  3. Set HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKEN to the access token.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKEN}. Tokens expire — your orchestrator handles refresh.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

步骤 2 — 安装 adapter

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

步骤 3 — 在 Claude 中添加连接器

推荐路径 — 在 claude.ai web 上工作,无需触碰任何配置文件。

  1. 打开 claude.ai/customize/connectors
  2. 点击 "Add custom connector"
  3. 填入:
    • Name: Help Scout
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → 粘贴你的 MCP API key (来自 AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. 点击 Connect 授权。
