# Hear what customers say. Fix what they hit.

Source: https://corespeed.io/integrations/helpscout

Connect Help Scout to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP agent through CoreSpeed. Your agent searches conversations, reads a thread or its summary, looks up the customer, and searches your Docs articles. The connection is read-only: it signs in with your own Help Scout user, sees only what that user can see, and changes nothing.

## Set up an agent

Give your agent this line: `set up https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md (read it raw, e.g. with curl)`

It fetches the skill at https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md, adds the CoreSpeed MCP server, signs you in (or up), and keeps the skill for next time. Connect Help Scout after setup. Access follows the connected account and its permissions. Create an account: https://app.corespeed.io/sign-up

## Find the pattern. Fix the doc

Have your agent search the inbox for a recurring problem, summarize one case, and check whether your Docs already answer it.

You ask your agent: "Search Help Scout for conversations this week about blank invoice PDFs. Summarize the latest one and tell me whether our Docs cover it."

It calls CoreSpeed:

- `helpscout__search_conversation_content`: ok, 472 ms
- `helpscout__get_conversation_summary`: ok, 391 ms
- `helpscout__docs_search_articles`: ok, 344 ms

It reads from: Help Scout.

### Support pattern: Blank invoices, all in Safari.

Five customers this week got a blank invoice PDF. Each one used Safari. Your Docs article does not mention it.

**What customers report**

- The download finishes, but the PDF is empty.
- Other browsers work.

**Suggested next steps**

- File the Safari bug with your engineers.
- Add a note to Download an invoice until it is fixed.

## Questions

### Can my agent reply or change conversations in Help Scout?

No. The Help Scout connection is read-only. Your agent finds and summarizes; you send any reply yourself.

### Why can’t my agent search our Docs?

Docs tools need a Docs API key. Paste it on Help Scout’s authorization page when you connect; inbox tools work without it.

### Are reports available on every plan?

No. Help Scout offers report tools on its Plus and Pro plans. Conversations, customers, and Docs work on any plan with API access.

### Do I have to switch agents?

No. CoreSpeed adds tools to the agent you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client. Each one signs in once.

### Can my agent access every account in our organization?

No. Access follows your CoreSpeed identity, each connection's visibility, and the app's own permissions. Personal connections stay private.

### Does this work without connecting an account?

No. Connect the app's account first; your CoreSpeed workspace shows what each app needs. The examples on this page use fictional data. All connectors: https://corespeed.io/docs/connectors
