Summary
This is a gateway-based server that connects Claude to your Zendesk account through OAuth. You get five main tools: list and search tickets, fetch individual tickets by ID, and query users and user details. It's hosted by Pipeworx, so there's no local setup. You can either call the tools directly (zd_list_tickets, zd_search_tickets, etc.) or use their ask_pipeworx interface to query in natural language and let the gateway route to the right endpoint. Useful when you're building support workflows, want to surface ticket context during conversations, or need to pull user data without switching to the Zendesk UI.

mcp-zendesk
Zendesk MCP Pack — tickets, users, organizations via OAuth.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1684+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
zd_list_tickets | List Zendesk support tickets for the connected account, sortable by created_at, updated_at, priority, or status. Returns ticket IDs, subjects, statuses, and metadata. Supports pagination via page. |
zd_get_ticket | Get a Zendesk ticket by ID. |
zd_search_tickets | Search Zendesk tickets with a query string. |
zd_list_users | List all Zendesk users (agents and end-users) in the connected account. Returns user IDs, names, emails, and roles. Supports pagination via page number. |
zd_get_user | Get a Zendesk user by ID. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"zendesk": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/zendesk/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/zendesk/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1684+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
This pack runs against a connected zendesk account, so it needs a Pipeworx key: sign in at https://pipeworx.io/account, connect zendesk, then call POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/zd_list_tickets with Authorization: Bearer <your Pipeworx key>. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/zd_list_tickets. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"zendesk": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-zendesk"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-zendesk
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Zendesk data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
