# Freshservice plugin builder
Generates a personalized **`freshservice.plugin`** that connects Claude
Desktop / Cowork to the shared Freshservice MCP server on the LAN — no Node.js,
no `mcp-remote`, no hand-editing `claude_desktop_config.json`. The plugin uses
a direct HTTP MCP connection with your own identity headers, so everything you
do in Freshservice is attributed to **you**.
## For coworkers: get connected in three steps
1. **Get your Freshservice API key**: Freshservice → profile picture →
*Profile settings* → API key. Also ask IT (Spencer) for the **shared server
token**.
2. **Build your plugin** (from a clone of this repo):
macOS / Linux:
```bash
cd plugin && ./make-plugin.sh
```
Windows (PowerShell):
```powershell
cd plugin
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\make-plugin.ps1
```
Enter your API key and the shared token when prompted. This produces
`freshservice.plugin` **containing your key — don't share the file.**
3. **Install it**: in Claude Desktop, go to Cowork → **Customize** → add the
`.plugin` file. Start a new chat; the Freshservice tools are available.
## Requirements
- Agent account in the PESCO Freshservice instance
- Network reach to `192.168.101.12:3839` (on-site or VPN)
## Notes
- Defaults (server URL, domain) can be overridden via env vars:
`SERVER_URL=... FS_DOMAIN=... ./make-plugin.sh`
- Built `.plugin` files are git-ignored on purpose — they embed credentials.
- The server side of this lives in [`../mcp-server/`](../mcp-server/); it must
be running in multi-user mode (no `FRESHSERVICE_*` env baked in) for
per-user identity to be enforced.
