GLPI
ITIL service desk and asset manager with a Builder-documented REST API over every item type.
Free (self-hosted) · GLPI Network Cloud
- we are an MSP or internal IT team and want tickets, assets, and contracts in one place that our agent can query and update through a stable API
- we need ITIL-style incident, problem, and change records rather than a chat-first support inbox
- Run inventory from endpoints
- Build dashboards and reports
- Install plugins and configure entities
- REST API is disabled by default and needs an app token plus IP allowlist under Setup > General > API
- IT-helpdesk flavour: customer-facing support (chat, social channels) is not native
- GPL-3.0 copyleft; PHP 8.2+ and MariaDB 10.6+ required
- Official REST API v1 is being superseded by a High-Level API in GLPI 11; endpoint paths may change
Request Tracker
Enterprise ticket tracker with a Builder-shipped MCP server for search, create, reply, and update.
Free (self-hosted) · Cloud Starter: $15 per user/month, annual, 5-user minimum · Cloud Business: $29 per user/month, annual, 10-user minimum · Cloud Growth: $39 per user/month, annual
- we run a shared support or IT queue by email and want tickets triaged, assigned, and answered from our agent without leaving RT's audit trail
- we already have an RT instance and want Claude or Cursor to search TicketSQL and draft replies as a named user
- Dashboards, charts, and reports
- Track assets (RT Assets)
- Configure scrips and automation
- Knowledge base articles
- MCP server needs RT 6.0+ with REST 2.0 enabled; older RT 4.x/5.x installs must upgrade first
- Everything the agent does is logged as the token's user, including emails sent on replies; a repeated add_reply sends mail again
- Perl stack with a long CPAN dependency install; SELinux default blocks /opt/rt6
- GPL-2.0 copyleft on both RT and the MCP server
