# Zoho Desk — AI Connector Zoho Desk publishes 41 MCP tools to Claude and is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/zoho-desk/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Productivity](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/) # Zoho Desk Codex connector for the Zoho Desk help desk Listed in ChatGPT and Claude · 41 published tools · Verified partner [ChatGPT listing](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/zoho-desk?open_in_app) [Claude connector docs](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/mcp/getting-started/articles/zoho-mcp-help-documentation-29-9-2025) [zoho.com](https://www.zoho.com/mcp/) Overview ## What Zoho Desk does This entry is a connector linking Codex to Zoho Desk, the customer support and ticketing product from Zoho. The listing is published by OpenAI, is marked as interactive, and gives a single sample request: open Zoho Desk. Nothing further is documented. The listing describes the connection and stops there, so the ticket, agent, queue, or reporting actions reachable once a Zoho Desk account is attached are not stated, and no limits on them are stated either. An entry this thin is best read as a pointer to the integration rather than a description of what it does. ### Who it is for Support teams on Zoho Desk working inside Codex who want the help desk reachable from that environment. ### What stands out The listing is a bare connector: it names the destination and leaves the available operations undocumented. Availability ## Where Zoho Desk is listed Zoho Desk is listed in both the Claude connectors directory and the ChatGPT apps directory. The two listings do not state the same publisher domain, so they are matched here by product name, with Zoho publishing the Claude listing and OpenAI the ChatGPT one. Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process. ChatGPT listing ## In the ChatGPT apps directory Developer OpenAI Filed under Business & Operations Listed since June 2026 Authentication Authenticates when installed Policies published Neither listed Official listing [Open in ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/zoho-desk?open_in_app) Snapshot August 2026 ### Example prompts from the listing - Open Zoho Desk Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Zoho Desk publishes 41 tools to Claude, deeper than 88% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 29 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 57th of 462 by tool count. It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory. Zoho Desk's Claude listing does not publish an endpoint URL. 48 of the 1,253 Claude listings are in the same position: real listings with documentation but no URL in the directory record, so the endpoint has to come from the publisher's own docs. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Zoho Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Productivity Endpoint Not published in the listing Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/mcp/getting-started/articles/zoho-mcp-help-documentation-29-9-2025) Published tools 41 · 21-50 tools band Depth rank in Productivity 57 of 462 Snapshot August 2026 Zoho Desk carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How Zoho describes it > Automate Zoho Desk customer support workflows with MCP tools for managing tickets, contacts, and knowledge base articles. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026. Node8 did not write it and does not vouch for it.
