How to use Freshservice with Cursor
You want Freshservice inside Cursor so it can triage the actionable ticket queue, diagnose a wave of related tickets, give agents the right self-service answer, and prepare a complete ticket handoff — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Freshservice gateway
The gateway is the thing Cursor connects to, and it is where you decide which Freshservice tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Freshservice tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Freshservice tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Cursor
Cursor does not refresh MCP OAuth tokens automatically. For a persistent connection, set Authorization to “Arcade Headers” on the gateway in the dashboard.
-
Open MCP settings
Command Palette (⌘⇧P / Ctrl+Shift+P) → Open MCP Settings, then click “New MCP Server”.
-
Add the gateway to mcpServers
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-arcade": { "url": "https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>" } } } -
Try it out

Keep ticket conversations and requester details out of contexts that do not need them with scoped access. Pair it with Contextual Access policies to limit the agent to read-only triage and require approval before it can change a ticket or service record.
