About LiveAgent
LiveAgent wires its ticketing engine into the Claude ecosystem via MCP.
LiveAgent is in dense maintenance mode — multiple version trains and a backport branch all shipping fixes and security patches almost daily — but the AI integration thread has sharpened. The 5.64 release adds an AI Agent Work Distributor for tickets, a new add_note MCP tool, and OAuth 2.1 on the MCP server with the explicit goal of letting claude.ai connect as a custom connector. Earlier May releases switched the MCP protocol to Streamable HTTP and renamed MCP tokens for clarity.
