How to Use the Daily.co MCP in AutoGen

Q: What package do I need to run Daily.co tools in AutoGen?

You need to install autogen-extmcp. This gives you the helper to load the MCP Server tools and register them directly with your AssistantAgent instances.

Q: Can an AutoGen agent dial out to external phone numbers using Daily.co?

Yes. The agent uses startdialout to call a SIP URI or phone number, bridging external participants directly into your active video session.

Let your AutoGen multi-agent teams coordinate, spin up, and manage Daily.co video sessions through collaborative debate.

Perplexity

Multi-agent debate coordinates phone number acquisition

The `list_available_numbers` tool lets your procurement agent search for available phone lines based on regional codes. Once found, a separate finance agent evaluates the cost before executing `buy_phone_number` to secure the line. This collaborative workflow prevents accidental purchases. The agents debate the necessity of the number, check existing inventory via `list_purchased_numbers`, and only execute the purchase when they reach a consensus.

AutoGen agents manage live broadcast layouts collaboratively

The `start_live_streaming` tool allows your broadcast agent to initiate RTMP or HLS streams for large audiences. A co-pilot agent monitors stream health and uses `update_live_streaming` to adjust layouts or streaming endpoints dynamically. If the stream encounters issues, the agents negotiate the best recovery strategy. One agent can execute `stop_live_streaming` while the other prepares a backup room, ensuring zero downtime for your audience.

Automated meeting transcription and analysis

The `start_transcription` tool lets your transcription agent start real-time text capture during an active call. A separate analysis agent monitors the live feed and uses `update_transcription` to focus on specific key speakers. Once the meeting concludes, the agents collaborate to clean up the transcript and archive it. They execute `stop_transcription` and compile a summary, deciding together when the data is ready for final delivery.

Setup guide

Set up Daily.co MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Daily.co tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="Daily.co_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Daily.co data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="Daily.co_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Daily.co data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Daily.co MCP in AutoGen

The agents debate the action first. For example, if one wants to call `delete_room` and another wants to keep it, they must reach a consensus before the MCP tool is executed.

You need to install `autogen-ext[mcp]`. This gives you the helper to load the MCP Server tools and register them directly with your `AssistantAgent` instances.

Yes. The agent uses `start_dial_out` to call a SIP URI or phone number, bridging external participants directly into your active video session.

The MCP tool adapter handles all schema conversions automatically behind the scenes, mapping the server's tools directly to the format your agents expect.

This MCP Server never logs your credentials or endpoint keys. Every interaction with your phone lines and streaming configurations goes through an ephemeral V8 sandbox.
