Dispatch Tickets for n8n
Give your n8n AI Agent workflows a safe, structured line into your support queue — read, triage, create, update, and reply to tickets, over the Model Context Protocol.
What it is
n8n can talk to Dispatch Tickets over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard for connecting AI assistants and automation platforms to external tools. Our hosted MCP server exposes your ticketing workspace as a set of safe, well-described tools that n8n's AI agents can call.
There's nothing to install and nothing to publish. You point n8n's MCP Client Tool node at our server URL, authenticate with a Dispatch Tickets API key, and the ticketing tools become available to your agent. Because the key is multi-tenant, one connection can reach every brand it has access to.
Server URL
https://mcp.dispatchtickets.com/mcpTransport: Streamable HTTP · Auth: Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…
What it can do
The server ships with ten tools, split between reading your tickets and taking action on them.
Read your tickets
list_brandsList the brands (workspaces) your key can access.
list_ticketsList tickets, filtered by status, priority, assignee, or date.
search_ticketsFull-text search across a brand's tickets.
get_ticketFetch a single ticket and its details.
list_commentsRead a ticket's comments — public replies and internal notes.
get_ticket_statsGet ticket counts per status for a brand.
Take action
create_ticketOpen a new ticket in a brand.
update_ticketChange status, priority, assignee, category, tags, or fields.
add_internal_noteAdd a private note for your team. Sends nothing to the customer.
reply_to_customerPost a public reply that emails the customer.
One tool sends email. reply_to_customer posts a public reply that is emailed to the customer. Everything else is either read-only or internal to your team — add_internal_note sends nothing. In automated flows, gate reply_to_customer behind a human-approval step if you don't want the agent emailing customers on its own.
What to build
A few things teams wire up with n8n and Dispatch Tickets:
- Auto-triage: when a ticket comes in, have the agent read it, set a priority, and route it to the right category.
- Draft-and-review: generate a suggested reply for a new ticket and post it as an internal note for an agent to approve.
- Daily digest: on a schedule, pull ticket stats per status and send your team a Slack summary.
- Cross-system sync: create a Dispatch ticket whenever a row is added in Airtable, a form is submitted, or an alert fires.
How to connect
You'll need a Dispatch Tickets account and an API key. If you don't have one yet, it's free to start — create an account, add a brand, then grab a key from API Keys in your dashboard.
- In your workflow, add an AI Agent node (or open an existing one).
- Add an MCP Client Tool node and connect it to the agent's tools input.
- Set the endpoint to the server URL below and the transport to HTTP Streamable.
- Under Authentication, add a Header credential named
Authorizationwith the valueBearer sk_live_…(your Dispatch Tickets API key). - Choose which tools the agent may use, then run the workflow — the ticketing tools are now available to your agent.

- Scoped to your key. The connection can only touch the brands and tickets your API key already has access to — nothing more.
- Nothing sends silently. The only customer-facing action is reply_to_customer. In automated flows, put a human-approval step in front of it if you want the final say.
- Per-request auth. One hosted server serves many tenants; your key travels with each request and is never shared across workspaces.
- Revoke anytime. Remove the credential in n8n, or revoke the API key in your dashboard, and access stops immediately.
