How to Use the 8x8 MCP in Cursor
Build communication features into your codebase with the 8x8 MCP Server for Cursor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect 8x8 MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect 8x8 to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Integrate 8x8 tools into Cursor
Agent mode lets you call `send_sms` and `send_voice_message` directly from your code files. Cursor runs these tools to test your communication logic in real time. Debugging is faster when you use `get_call_status` and `get_sms_status` to verify events. Your code gets the exact API response back as a JSON object.
Cursor and 8x8 account management
Check your account balance or list sub-accounts without switching windows. `get_account_balance` provides the numbers you need to keep your build running. Use `list_sub_accounts` to map out your infrastructure. Cursor writes the logic based on the live data returned from these queries.
Verify 8x8 connections in Cursor
Use `check_8x8_status` to confirm your API configuration is correct. Cursor detects if the connection fails so you can fix it before shipping. Handle verification flows with `send_verification` and `check_verification`. Your agents can now test your authentication logic against the actual 8x8 backend.
