Overview
Jitbit Helpdesk MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants search and read support tickets from Jitbit Helpdesk. Works with both SaaS and on-premise installations.
Setup
Two options:
- Hosted HTTP endpoint (recommended) — built into Jitbit, no installation required. Available on SaaS and on-premise installs running version 11.21 or later. See the Jitbit MCP docs.
- Local npm package — this repo, runs locally via
npx. Use this if your on-premise Jitbit is older than 11.21.
