   • Copy your API key for configuration

2. Set up your domain and authentication details as shown below

Usage with Claude Desktop

1. Install Claude Desktop from the official website
2. Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": {
  "freshservice-mcp": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
        "freshservice-mcp"
    ],
