Live 8x8 Contact Center metrics in Vercel AI SDK
Feed live queue stats straight into your React components using `get_realtime_metrics`. Your users see call volume shifts as they happen without waiting for a page refresh. This MCP Server pushes raw data to your Edge Functions. You get the telemetry you need to build custom dashboards that update while the user watches.
Audit interaction history with Vercel AI SDK
Pull archived call metadata using `list_agent_interactions` to display resolution logs. You can filter these records by date to show exactly how specific tickets were handled. Parsing these logs through your AI client turns messy backend data into clear, user-facing summaries. It keeps your interface clean while retaining deep history.
Track queue performance with Vercel AI SDK
Query historical queue trends with `list_queue_metrics` to build trend charts in your app. Your frontend now displays performance patterns over time without extra database load. This tool bridges the gap between your UI and the contact center backend. It gives your users the context they need to make decisions based on actual past performance.
