About HelpSpot
HelpSpot layers AI and an MCP server onto a long-standing self-hosted help desk
HelpSpot, a self-hosted help desk, is adding modern capabilities to a mature product: 5.8.0 ships an MCP Server, 5.7.0 added native CSAT surveys, and 5.6.x introduced an AI Response Composer, an AI knowledge-base article generator, and AI request-history summaries. Between feature drops sits a steady run of security and compatibility maintenance.
