Help Scout

Help Scout MCP integration

Reads a customer's full thread history, posts replies and internal notes, tags and snoozes incoming conversations, and reports on inbox performance.

129actions available

Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

  • Create chat thread

    Lyro starts a new chat thread on a Help Scout conversation. Agents begin conversations without leaving Help Scout.

  • Get user conversation history

    Lyro pulls detailed conversation history for a customer over time. Agents see the full relationship context before responding.

  • Run manual workflow

    Lyro executes a workflow on Help Scout conversations. Agents trigger automations for bulk processing without manual steps.

How businesses use Help Scout + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Help Scout actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Answer from the customer's full thread history

    Lyro lists the conversations tied to a customer, opens the relevant one, and reads every thread on it, so a reply reflects what was already promised instead of starting the exchange over.

  • Reply in the thread and leave the note behind it

    Lyro posts the reply into the existing conversation, adds an internal note explaining what it did and why, and opens a new conversation when a request deserves its own record.

  • Triage what lands in the shared inbox

    Lyro tags an incoming conversation by topic, sets its status or assignee, and snoozes the ones waiting on a customer, so the queue an agent opens is already sorted rather than raw.

  • Report on how the inbox is actually performing

    Lyro pulls happiness ratings, first response time, and volume by channel for a period, so a question about how support is doing is answered with the current numbers rather than last month's deck.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Help Scout actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Help Scout

    Authorize the Help Scout account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Help Scout actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Help Scout

Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Help Scout.

  • It can work from the saved replies your agents already use. List Saved Replies and Get Saved Reply return the approved text held in the account, so a message sent through Create Reply Thread follows wording that has been signed off rather than a separate script maintained somewhere else.
