Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server for HelpCrunch that lets an assistant search customers and chats, read conversation messages, and reply to or reassign live chats.

What you can do
  • Search and read customers, including a single customer by id
  • Search and read chats, and fetch a chat's messages newest first
  • List agents, departments and configured applications
  • Check the organization's live-chat availability and online status
  • Post a customer-visible reply or an internal private note into a live chat
  • Change a chat's status and assign or unassign it to an agent
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about your HelpCrunch support inbox, such as open chats, who is handling them, or what a customer said, and to make small changes like replying, closing or reassigning a chat without opening the HelpCrunch dashboard.
Requirements
Remote endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local install. Sign-in is via OAuth, and the login page asks for your HelpCrunch credentials, which are stored per user. No API key or Authorization header is added to the client config. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
Three tools write to live data: posting a message (customer-visible or private note), changing chat status, and assigning chats; confirm before running them. The server also exposes subscription tools that return Stripe Checkout links and can charge money, and plan changes or cancellations are billed without refund for the current period. Your HelpCrunch credentials are entered on the hosted service's login page, so trust in that third party matters.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open HelpCrunch MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fhelpcrunch/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

HelpCrunch MCP by usefulapi

Manage HelpCrunch chats, customers, agents and knowledge-base articles. Hosted, no local install.

Live endpoint: https://helpcrunch.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://helpcrunch.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http helpcrunch https://helpcrunch.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "helpcrunch": {      "url": "https://helpcrunch.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your HelpCrunch credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/helpcrunch/

On first connect you'll paste your HelpCrunch credentials. They are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

Pricing

PlanPriceLimit
Free$050 tool calls / month
Pro$9/mo or $90/yr (2 months free)10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+$39/mo or $390/yr (2 months free)100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run helpcrunch_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with helpcrunch_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with helpcrunch_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
