What is the 8x8 Work MCP Server?
Transform your 8x8 Work communications data into a strategic asset for your AI agent. This integration bridges the gap between raw telephony logs and actionable business insights, allowing your agent to audit call records (CDR), monitor extension performance, and analyze ring group activity through natural language. Whether you need to track call volumes across your organization or deep-dive into a specific extension's performance, your agent provides a direct, conversational window into your 8x8 telephony environment, ensuring your communication workflows are always optimized.
What you can do
- Call Record Auditing (CDR) — Retrieve detailed call journey logs and metadata for all calls across your organization.
- Extension Performance Tracking — Get instant summaries of call volume and performance metrics for specific extensions or posts.
- Ring Group Analytics — Access performance data for business ring groups to ensure optimal call distribution.
- Communication Insights — Audit telephony trends and usage patterns on the fly using simple conversational commands.
- Custom Log Filtering — Query call detail records by specific date and time ranges to find exact communication data points.

Frequently asked questions
How can I see all calls made yesterday?
Use the list_call_records tool and specify the start and end time for yesterday. It will return all CDR metadata for that period.
Can I check the call volume for a specific extension?
Yes. Use the get_extension_summary tool and provide the extension number. You'll receive a performance summary for that specific line.
Does this integration show ring group analytics?
Yes, use the list_ring_groups tool to retrieve performance data and call distribution metrics for your organization's ring groups.
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.
