Helpdesk for AI agents

HelpDesk is a ticketing system for organizing and managing customer support inquiries in one queue. Support teams use it to keep customer requests organized in one shared queue. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Helpdesk connects.

Users add their Helpdesk api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Helpdesk connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Helpdesk and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Helpdesk with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Helpdesk to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Helpdesk actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Helpdesk?

Users add their Helpdesk api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Helpdesk actions can my agent take?

14 in total: 14 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Helpdesk?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Helpdesk policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Helpdesk too?

Yes. The same Helpdesk connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
