Zendesk MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that puts Zendesk inside your AI assistant. It finds answers in the Help Center; drafts, updates and translates articles while keeping the languages in sync; and handles Support tickets end to end, comments, triage and image attachments included. It all happens in plain language, without switching apps. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
