Connect AI tools to LiveAgent with MCP
Let Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible AI clients search, tag, and act on your tickets directly — inside the same permissions your agents already have.
Model Context Protocol
A standard way for AI tools to plug into your help desk
MCP is an open standard for connecting AI applications to outside tools and data. LiveAgent's MCP server exposes tickets, ticket messages, knowledge base articles, agents, and departments as tools an MCP-compatible AI client can call directly — no custom integration required.
- Search and read tickets, messages, and knowledge base articles
- Tag, assign, transfer, resolve, and reopen tickets
- List agents and departments to route work correctly
- Reply to WhatsApp conversations where enabled
MCP server
Built for teams already using an AI client
What your AI client can help with:
- Triage and tag incoming tickets
- Summarize long ticket threads on request
- Look up knowledge base answers while chatting with you
Access stays inside your existing permissions
What stays under your control:
- Every ticket action is checked against that account's department and role permissions
- Access tokens are scoped to approved actions, not blanket account access
- Individual tools, like WhatsApp replies, can be turned off
How It works?

Copy it right away
Copy it right away — LiveAgent only shows it to you once, so if you lose it, you'll need to make a new one.

Every tool your AI client can call
Tickets
| What it does for you | Tool |
|---|---|
| Finds tickets matching a keyword, status, or other filter, so your AI client can pull up the right one without you searching manually | search_tickets |
| Reads a ticket’s full conversation, message by message, so it has real context before doing anything | get_ticket_messages |
| Checks a ticket’s details — status, channel, and other metadata | get_ticket_metadata |
| Sees what tags exist on the account | get_tags |
| Adds a tag to a ticket | add_tags_to_ticket |
| Removes a tag from a ticket | remove_tags_from_ticket |
| Assigns a ticket to an agent | assign_ticket |
| Moves a ticket to another department | transfer_ticket |
| Resolves a ticket | resolve_ticket |
| Reopens a resolved ticket | reopen_ticket |
| Flags a ticket as spam | mark_as_spam |
| Clears a spam flag that shouldn’t be there | mark_as_not_spam |
| Adds an internal note that only agents see, not the customer | add_note |
| Reads back a ticket’s existing internal notes | get_ticket_notes |
Custom ticket fields
| What it does for you | Tool |
|---|---|
| Shows what custom fields your account has set up | get_ticket_field_definitions |
| Reads the values already filled in on a ticket | get_ticket_field_values |
| Fills in or updates a field’s value — creates it if it isn’t set yet | set_ticket_field_value |
| Clears a field’s value | delete_ticket_field_value |
AI-generated content
| What it does for you | Tool |
|---|---|
| Checks if a ticket already has an AI summary, and reads it if so | get_ticket_summary |
| Generates and saves a new summary for a ticket | submit_ticket_summary |
| Drafts a reply for an agent to review before sending, instead of sending it directly | submit_answer_suggestion |
| Submits polished or AI-edited text for the answer assistant to use | submit_text_modification |
Knowledge base
| What it does for you | Tool |
|---|---|
| Lists the knowledge bases (customer portals) on your account | list_knowledge_bases |
| Browses categories as a tree, the same structure customers see | list_kb_categories |
| Searches articles by keyword | search_kb_articles |
| Reads one article in full | get_kb_article |
| Writes a new article | create_kb_article |
| Updates an existing article | update_kb_article |
| Creates a category to keep articles organized | create_kb_category |
| Updates an existing category | update_kb_category |
Team lookups
| What it does for you | Tool |
|---|---|
| Lists your agents, so the AI client can route work to the right person instead of guessing | list_agents |
| Lists your departments, so the AI client can route work to the right team instead of guessing | list_departments |
Channel-specific
| What it does for you | Tool |
|---|---|
| Replies to a customer on WhatsApp — only while the 24-hour customer-service window is open, and only for the conversation the AI client is already handling, so it can’t jump into a different customer’s chat | reply_via_whatsapp |

Give your AI tools a direct line to your tickets
Instead of exporting tickets or pasting conversations into a chat window, connect an MCP-compatible AI client straight to your LiveAgent account. It searches, reads, and acts on tickets using the same department and role permissions your agents already work under.
