About Agora MCP Server
Connect your AI agents to Agora, the leading real-time engagement platform for video, voice, and interactive streaming. This MCP provides 10 tools to manage communication channels, orchestrate cloud recording sessions, and monitor granular usage metrics programmatically.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Agora tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Channel Orchestration — Create and manage RTC (Real-Time Communication) channels and list active users within each session
- Cloud Recording — Start, stop, and query the status of cloud recording tasks for archival or auditing purposes
- Usage Monitoring — Retrieve detailed metrics on minutes consumed, bandwidth, and concurrent user peaks
- Project Insights — List and inspect project configurations, including AppIDs and token settings, directly from your agent
- Rule Management — Configure channel-level rules and settings to optimize the interactive experience
The Agora MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
