# Connect Freshdesk and LeanKit

When **New Company** fires in [Freshdesk](https://apiant.ai/connections/freshdesk), your agent runs **Create a card** in [LeanKit](https://apiant.ai/connections/leankit), or **New card** in LeanKit to **Add Note to Ticket** in Freshdesk. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Freshdesk and LeanKit to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Cursor

Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Zed

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

LeanKit holds the delivery work and Freshdesk holds the customer conversation, so support and engineering end up retyping the same thing in two places. Connecting them lets a Freshdesk ticket raise a LeanKit card on the right board, and lets a card reaching a lane put a note back on the ticket the customer is watching.

Questions

## Freshdesk and LeanKit, answered

###

### Can a LeanKit card be created only for certain Freshdesk tickets?

Yes. The New Ticket trigger in Freshdesk can check fields such as priority or the contact returned by Get Contact before the Create a card action runs in LeanKit, so cards appear only for tickets that match your rule. The agent tests every scenario, including tickets that should not create a card.

###

### How does the Freshdesk ticket get updated when work moves in LeanKit?

The New card in lane trigger fires when a card arrives in a lane you pick, and Add Note to Ticket or Update Ticket writes back to the ticket recorded on that card. Notes can be private for the support team or the ticket status can be changed instead.

###

### What can start an automation from Freshdesk?

Any of Freshdesk's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Company, New Contact and New Ticket. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in LeanKit when something happens in Freshdesk?

Any of LeanKit's 37 actions, including Create a card, Create a team, Create an attachment and Create a new board. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from LeanKit to Freshdesk?

Yes. When something happens in LeanKit, your agent can act in Freshdesk too. This page covers both directions: LeanKit's triggers and Freshdesk's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Freshdesk or LeanKit?

No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

###

### Can my AI client use Freshdesk and LeanKit without building an automation?

Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.

###

### What happens when something fails?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
