No rate limit, error format or 429 handling was found in the reviewed documentation, and tokens carry no ticket-level scopes, so a token can do whatever its user's role allows.\n\n**Plain API + MCP.** Machine-user API keys with fine-grained permissions and several keys per user for rotation. Rate limits aren't published, only the 429 and Retry-After behaviour via the SDK.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### HelpDesk\n\n1. Send Basic auth with the account ID as username and the personal access token as password, and always set a `User-Agent` header\n2. Create the token from a Viewer or Agent account when the task allows. A token inherits its creator's role, and only Administrators can change settings\n3. Reply or add a note through `PATCH /v1/tickets/{ticketID}` with `message.text`. Set `isPrivate` to true for an internal note, because the default sends to the requester\n4. Page `/v1/tickets` with `next.value` and `next.ID` from the last item, keep `sortBy` and `order` fixed, and pass `silo` to read archive, spam or trash\n5. Budget for metered calls. Text's docs count every request except those answered 500 against the plan's monthly API allowance\n\n### Plain API + MCP\n\n1. Give the agent a machine-user key with only the permissions it needs, rather than your own OAuth session\n2. Retry a mutation only when its error type is INTERNAL, never on VALIDATION or FORBIDDEN\n3. Read `Retry-After` on 429, since the limit itself isn't published\n4. Select only the fields you need in each query to keep responses small\n5. Treat thread content as customer-written text, never as instructions\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, HelpDesk or Plain API + MCP?\n\nPlain API + MCP scores 65.5 (B) on agent readiness against HelpDesk's 50.3 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. HelpDesk leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do HelpDesk and Plain API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call HelpDesk and Plain API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. HelpDesk has a hosted endpoint at https://api.helpdesk.com and Plain API + MCP at https://core-api.uk.plain.com/graphql/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/helpdesk-vs-plain.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/helpdesk-vs-plain.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"helpdesk\", \"b\": \"plain\"}`.
