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.
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.
