Read and manage Plain support threads, customers, tenants, broadcasts, help-center content, Sidekick sessions, and workspace settings through Plain's hosted MCP server.

## Tools

- **Addgeneratedreply** — Add an AI-generated reply suggestion to a thread.

 Required fields:
   - threadId: The ID of the thread to add the generated reply to.
   - timelineEntryId: The ID of the timeline entry to associate the reply with.
   - markdown: The markd
- **Addlabels** — Add labels to a thread by label type IDs.
 Labels are used to categorize and organize threads.
- **Archivelabeltype** — Archive a label type to hide it from the active label list.
 Archived label types are no longer available for selection but existing labels remain on threads.
 Use this to deprecate label types without losing historical data.
- **Assignthread** — Assign a thread to a user or machine user.
 Provide either userId or machineUserId, not both.
 If neither is provided, the thread will be assigned to the authenticated user.
- **Bulkupsertthreadfields** — Bulk upsert (create or update) multiple thread field values in a single operation.
 Provide an array of thread field inputs, each with thread ID, field key, field type, and value.
 Use this to efficiently set multiple custom fields on one o
- **Changethreadpriority** — Change the priority of a thread.
 Priority is an integer: 0 = urgent, 1 = high, 2 = normal, 3 = low.
- **Createbroadcast** — Create a new broadcast: a message authored once and posted to many Slack
 channels at once. Creating one never sends it — a new broadcast is a DRAFT,
 and scheduling the real send is done by a human in the Plain app.

 Required input fields
- **Createbroadcastaudience** — Create a reusable broadcast audience: a named set of broadcast recipients,
 resolved to concrete Slack channels at send time rather than when saved.

 Required input fields: `name`, `type`, `filters`.

 - `name` identifies the audience inte
- **Createlabeltype** — Create a new label type for organizing threads.
 Label types can be single-select or multi-select, and can be hierarchical with parent label types.
 Use this to add new labels to your workspace's label taxonomy.
- **Createnote** — Create an internal note on a thread.
 Notes are visible to support agents only, not to customers.
 Requires a customerId and text content. Optionally provide a threadId
 to attach the note to a specific thread, and markdown for rich formatt
- **Createsnippet** — Create a new snippet (reusable reply template) in the workspace.
 `name` is what agents search for when inserting the snippet.
 `text` is the plain-text body (required). Optionally provide
 `markdown` for rich-text channels, and `path` (alp
- **Createthread** — Create a new thread for a customer.

 A thread is the unit of conversation in Plain. Use this when you need to open a
 new ticket on behalf of a customer (for example, capturing an internal report or
 a back-channel conversation). To send a
- **Createthreadfieldschema** — Create a new thread field schema to capture structured data on threads.
 Thread field schemas define custom fields that can be added to threads (e.g., priority score, department, due date).
 Supports text, number, boolean, date, and enum fi
- **Createthreadlink** — Link a thread to an external entity (e.g. a Linear issue, Jira issue,
 incident.io incident, or another Plain thread/task).

 Provide the `threadId` plus exactly one way to identify the link target:

 There is no second OAuth install. Pass the id of an existing workspace Slack channel
 integration (`workspaceSlackChannelIntegrations`). Requires `wo
- **Deletebroadcast** — Soft-delete a broadcast. Deleted broadcasts are excluded from
 `getBroadcasts` and `searchBroadcasts` but remain fetchable by ID with
 `getBroadcastDetails`, where `isDeleted` is true — so the record of what was
 sent survives.

 Deleting a

 `getBroadcastAudiences` but stay fetchable by ID with
 `getBroadcastAudienceDetails`, so the record of what a past broadcast was
 sent to survives.

 This will remove the field schema and all associated thread field values from threads.
 Use this carefully as it permanently removes data.

 Pass the `threadLinkId` of the link to delete (the `id` returned by
 `createThreadLink` or listed under a thread's `links` in `getThreadDetails`).
- **Getattachmentdownloadurl** — Generate a short-lived download URL for an attachment on a thread.
 Use attachment IDs returned by getThreadDetails (in the attachments field of timeline
 entries such as NoteEntry, ChatEntry, EmailEntry, SlackMessageEntry, etc.).

 The ret
