README

helpscout-docs-mcp

MCP server for the Help Scout Docs API. Gives Claude access to your Help Scout knowledge base — collections, articles, and search.

Tools

Tool Description
list_collections List all knowledge-base collections (with article counts and visibility)
list_articles List articles in a collection (metadata only — ID, name, status, URL, view count)
get_article Fetch full article content by ID (HTML body, categories, related articles)
search_articles Keyword search across articles (returns names, preview snippets, and IDs)

Setup

1. Get a Docs API key

In Help Scout, go to Manage → Docs → API Keys and generate a key.

2. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/ryrykerr/helpscout-docs-mcp.git
cd helpscout-docs-mcp
npm install

3. Add to Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helpscout-docs": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/helpscout-docs-mcp/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "HELPSCOUT_DOCS_API_KEY": "your-docs-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/helpscout-docs-mcp/ with the actual path and your-docs-api-key with your API key.

How it works

The server uses Basic Auth against the Help Scout Docs API v1 (https://docsapi.helpscout.net/v1). It communicates over stdio using the Model Context Protocol SDK.
