Put your own values in place of <FREESCOUT_URL> (Your FreeScout instance URL (e.g., https://support.example.com)), <FREESCOUT_API_KEY> (FreeScout API key with read/write permissions). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: FREESCOUT_DEFAULT_USER_ID (Default user ID for ticket operations).

MCP FreeScout — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP FreeScout?
MCP FreeScout runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @verygoodplugins/mcp-freescout was installed 162 times last week.
How do I connect MCP FreeScout?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @verygoodplugins/mcp-freescout straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP FreeScout?
The npm package @verygoodplugins/mcp-freescout was installed 162 times in the last week. Week over week that is -44%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP FreeScout open source?
Yes — it is published under the GPL-3.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 31 stars on GitHub and 9 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
