How to Use the 8x8 Work MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the 8x8 Work integration work inside Cursor?

You add the 8x8 Work MCP server to your mcp.json file. Once configured, Cursor's agent can use the tools to fetch call data directly into your chat or the editor.

Q: Can I use 8x8 Work data from a specific time frame in Cursor?

Yes, you can. Instruct the agent to use the listcallrecords tool with a start and end date. It will pull the exact call detail records you need for your code.

Q: Does every developer on my team need to configure this MCP connection?

If you add the configuration to .cursor/mcp.json in your project's root, anyone who pulls the repo will have it. For individual use, you can add it to your global /.cursor/mcp.json file.

Inject live 8x8 Work call data and analytics directly into your code with Cursor's AI agent.

Generate Code with Real CDRs

The `list_call_records` tool lets your agent fetch actual call detail records from your 8x8 Work account. Stop writing code against fake data or outdated JSON files. Tell the agent to get the last 100 call records and build a function that parses them. Cursor will write the code and use the live data, so you know it works from the first run. This is what an MCP Server makes possible.

Build Dashboards with Live Stats in Cursor

Use `get_extension_summary` to pull performance metrics for any phone extension. Your agent can grab this data and help you stub out a new component for an internal dashboard. You're not just getting a data dump. You can ask Cursor to structure the response into a TypeScript interface or a React component's initial state. It's a huge head start on any analytics feature.

Model Your Ring Group Logic

The `list_ring_groups` tool gives your agent insight into your company's call routing setup. It can pull a list of active ring groups and their members. This is perfect for when you need to write code that mirrors your company's support tiers or sales queues. Your agent gets the ground truth from 8x8 Work, so your application logic matches reality.

Setup guide

Set up 8x8 Work MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the 8x8 Work MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent 8x8 Work transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the 8x8 Work tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
