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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
