Ticket Management

Change Management

🚨 Important: Query Syntax for Filtering

When using `get_changes` or `filter_changes` with the `query` parameter, the query string must be wrapped in double quotes for the Freshservice API to work correctly:

✅ CORRECT: `"status:3"`, `"approval_status:1 AND status:'2025-07-14'"` - Changes starting after specific date

• `"status:3 AND priority:1"` - High priority changes awaiting approval

Getting Started

Installing via Smithery

To install freshservice_mcp automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @effytech/freshservice_mcp --client claude

Prerequisites

• A Freshservice account (sign up at freshservice.com)
• Freshservice API key

Example Operations

Once configured, you can ask Claude to perform operations like:

Tickets:

• "Create a new incident ticket with subject 'Network connectivity issue in Marketing department' and description 'Users unable to connect to Wi-Fi in Marketing area', set priority to high"
• "List all critical incidents reported in the last 24 hours"
