What is the 8x8 Contact Center MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to act as a real-time supervisor for your 8x8 Contact Center. This integration bridges the gap between complex CCaaS metrics and actionable insights, allowing your agent to audit queue performance and agent interactions through natural language. Whether you need an instant pulse check on live call volumes or a detailed historical audit of agent activity, your agent provides a direct, conversational window into your 8x8 operations, ensuring your team stays agile and data-driven without ever leaving your primary chat interface.
What you can do
- Real-time Monitoring — Retrieve live statistics for all active queues and agents to identify immediate operational bottlenecks.
- Agent Interaction Audits — List and review historical agent interaction logs, complete with metadata and timestamps.
- Queue Performance Analytics — Access aggregated historical performance data to understand long-term contact center trends.
- Supervisory Insights — Audit agent availability and queue health on the fly using simple conversational commands.
- Custom Metric Filtering — Query interaction logs by specific date and time ranges to find exact operational data points.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see how many calls are currently waiting in a queue?
Yes. Use the get_realtime_metrics tool to see live statistics, including the number of waiting calls and active agent status across all queues.
How do I audit an agent's interaction history?
Use the list_agent_interactions tool. You can optionally provide a start and end time range to filter logs for specific periods.
Can I export performance data to other tools?
Your AI agent can retrieve the data using list_queue_metrics, which can then be formatted or summarized for use in reports, spreadsheets, or other applications.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
