Your team probably already asks CoPilot, Claude or ChatGPT for help throughout the day. With the MCP, you can safely connect those tools straight to your TOPdesk environment. 
 

The problem it solves 

Some teams have already started building their own connection to TOPdesk, piece by piece, with no supported path. Workarounds like that often rely on shared keys and access that reaches further than intended, which is a real risk for any organization handling sensitive data. 
 

What the MCP does 

The MCP gives your team a safe, supported way to reach TOPdesk from the AI tools they already use. Ask something like “which tickets haven't been touched in three days?” and get the answer straight from your own tickets and knowledge base, read-only, and scoped to your own data. No custom connector to build, and no risk of reaching further than your own environment. 


Who it's for 

Teams on the Excellent plan who already rely on AI tools like CoPilot, Claude or ChatGPT day to day, and want that access without building or maintaining it themselves. 
 

How to get started 

The MCP will be available in October, on the Excellent plan. You'll find the connection details in your environment once it's released. More on how to set it up will follow later on our documentation portal. 
 

What do you think? 

Do you think will you start using the MCP and for what?

We will not use it because we are not on the excellent plan. MCP should be free.

Would love to use it but we can’t because we’re not on the Excellent plan.

Wij overwegen MCP toe te passen om een brug te staan tussen verschillende informatie bronnen. Wij gebruiken CoPilot Business en hebben een Excellent abonnement. Ik ben benieuwd naar de implementatie en mogelijkheden.

AI tools zouden niet een een specifiek plan gebonden moeten zijn aangezien deze voor elke plan waarde kan creeren.

We already programmed the MCP on our own - runs “free” on Azure Infrastructure.
MCP should be free - RestAPI is

A great feature, but we are not on the excellent plan. MCP should be free.

Hi ​@Paul Verhoeff  ik heb dit intern voor je nagevraagd en ja je kan de MCP connecten met elke LLM. Alleen zullen we er wel voor zorgen dat het makkelijker word gemaakt met tools als bijvoorbeels MS Copilot, Claude of ChatGPT door een connector aan te bieden.

Thanks you all for your replies, comments and questions. I have connected internally with some colleagues to provide you with a proper answer.

You can connect AI tools to TOPdesk on any plan. Our REST API is available in Essential, Engaged and Excellent, and some customers already run their own MCP connector on it. 

 

What Excellent adds is a governed connection that we build, secure and maintain. Your application manager decides what each user's AI tool is allowed to do, and every action is recorded in our MCP Audit Log. Excellent is the plan for organizations that want TOPdesk to carry that governance and upkeep for them. 

 

Organizations happy to run their own connector can keep doing so on their current plan.
