What's MCP, and why use Tugger's?

MCP is how AI assistants connect to business data.

It stands for Model Context Protocol, and it's the standard Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all use. Tugger's MCP is the secure route between your assistant and your 8x8 data. One connection covers every app you've connected to Tugger.

Ask anything.Break nothing.

Why's Tugger's MCP read‑only?

Because your AI assistant should answer questions about 8x8, not make changes to it.

Tugger reads from 8x8. It never writes back. So nothing an assistant does can change, delete or create a record.

Why use Tugger's MCP?

  • One question, every appAsk across 8x8, Xero, HubSpot and the rest in a single conversation. Tugger handles the joins.
  • AI that understands 8x8Your data arrives structured and described, so your assistant knows what each record is and how they fit together.
  • As much history as you wantPick how far back to go when you connect 8x8. Trends and year-on-year comparisons are there to ask about.
  • Your choice of assistantClaude today, something else tomorrow. Same connection, same data, same controls.

What can AI see of your 8x8 data?

Only what you allow.

AI privacy controls, built in

8x8 holds more than interactions. Customer phone numbers. Notes somebody typed three years ago. Government ID numbers. You decide, category by category, what an AI assistant gets to see.

  • Hidden means hiddenSet a category to Hidden and it's withheld inside Tugger before the answer leaves. The AI can't filter, count or total on it either.
  • Staff and customers, set separatelyKeep staff names visible for scheduling questions while customer details stay hidden. Or the reverse.
  • Different rules where you need themSet rules for your whole account, then override them for 8x8, a single connection or an individual user.

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's the standard way AI assistants connect to business data. Tugger's MCP gives your assistant secure, read-only access to your 8x8 data, and to every other app you've connected to Tugger.

Can AI change or delete my 8x8 data?

No. Tugger's MCP is read-only. Tugger reads from 8x8 and never writes back, so nothing your AI assistant does can change, delete or create a record in 8x8.

Can I control what AI sees in my 8x8 data?

Yes. Tugger's AI privacy controls let an administrator set each category of personal data to Visible or Hidden, separately for staff and for customers. Anything hidden is withheld inside Tugger before the answer leaves, and every AI call is recorded.
