# Clear the ticket queue. From your agent.

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

Connect Zendesk to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP agent through CoreSpeed. Your agent searches tickets, reads the comments on one, runs a view, and previews what a macro would change without saving it. It signs in with your own Zendesk account, and a public reply or internal note is a separate call that approvals can hold.

## 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 Zendesk after setup. Access follows the connected account and its permissions. Create an account: https://app.corespeed.io/sign-up

## Read the whole ticket. Answer the real question

Have your agent find the ticket, read every comment, and check what your usual macro would change. You get a draft reply to review.

You ask your agent: "Find the open Zendesk tickets about export timeouts. Read the latest one, preview our Known issue macro on it, and draft a reply. Do not post anything."

It calls CoreSpeed:

- `zendesk__search`: ok, 431 ms
- `zendesk__list_ticket_comments`: ok, 388 ms
- `zendesk__preview_macro`: ok, 512 ms

It reads from: Zendesk.

### Ticket brief: Ticket #4821, ready to answer.

Large exports time out for Diane’s team. Other accounts report it too, so it is a known issue, not a setup mistake.

**What the macro would do**

- Set the ticket to pending.
- Add the export-bug tag.

**Draft reply**

- Thanks, Diane. We can reproduce the timeout on large exports and are fixing it. I’ll update this ticket when the fix ships.

## Questions

### Can my agent reply to customers in Zendesk?

Yes, with a separate call that adds a public reply or an internal note. Approvals can hold that call for a person first.

### Does it apply macros?

It previews what a macro would change on a ticket without saving it. Changing the ticket is a separate update call.

### Which tickets can my agent see?

Only what the connected Zendesk account can see, within the scopes you grant at sign-in. CoreSpeed does not bypass Zendesk roles.

### 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
