What is the Invgate MCP server?

InvGate Service Desk MCP — 96 tools across 11 domains (incidents, users, knowledge base, assets, time tracking), read-only by default with a 3-tier write access model (none/support/full), and built-in OpenTelemetry observability. That is what the invgate mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Give your AI assistant full access to your InvGate Service Desk — query incidents, look up users, search the knowledge base, check assets, and manage tickets — all through natural language.

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at invgate-service-desk-mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: INVGATE_BASE_URL, INVGATE_API_TOKEN, INVGATE_WRITE_PROFILE, INVGATE_TELEMETRY, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME, YOUR_DT_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of monitoring and observability servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by Alan (tracegazer); worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
