Can I automatically list all active users in an Agora channel?

Yes! Use the `list_channel_users` tool with the project AppID and the target Channel Name. Your agent will return a list of UIDs currently connected to that session.

How do I start a cloud recording session via the AI agent?

Use the `start_cloud_recording` tool with the necessary parameters (AppID, Channel Name, and recording config). The agent will trigger the Agora cloud recording engine and return the Resource ID and SID.

Can I monitor the total minutes consumed by my project this month?

Yes! The `get_usage_metrics` tool retrieves granular consumption data, including audio and video minutes, filtered by date range or project.

Agora + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Agora MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Agora tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
