- Specialized prompts for ticket analysis and response drafting
- Full access to the Zendesk Help Center articles as knowledge base

## Setup

- build: `uv venv && uv pip install -e .` or `uv build` in short.
- setup zendesk credentials in `.env` file, refer to [.env.example](.env.example).
- configure in Claude desktop:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
      "zendesk": {
          "command": "uv",
          "args": [
              "--directory",
              "/path/to/zendesk-mcp-server",
              "run",
              "zendesk"
          ]
      }
  }
}
```

### Docker

You can containerize the server if you prefer an isolated runtime:

1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your Zendesk credentials. Keep this file outside version control.
2. Build the image:

   ```bash
   docker build -t zendesk-mcp-server .
   ```

3. Run the server, providing the environment file:

   ```bash
   docker run --rm --env-file /path/to/.env zendesk-mcp-server
   ```

   Add `-i` when wiring the container to MCP clients over STDIN/STDOUT (Claude Code uses this mode). For daemonized runs, add `-d --name zendesk-mcp`.

The image installs dependencies from `requirements.lock`, drops privileges to a non-root user, and expects configuration exclusively via environment variables.

#### Claude MCP Integration

To use the Dockerized server from Claude Code/Desktop, add an entry to Claude Code's `settings.json` similar to:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zendesk": {
      "command": "…
