How to Use the Daily.co MCP in Cursor

Q: Can the Cursor agent create a Daily.co room and then write the front-end code for it?

Absolutely. Tell the agent to createroom, then in a follow-up prompt, ask it to generate a React or Vue component to display the properties from the room object it just received.

Q: Is it possible to manage Daily.co webhooks directly from Cursor?

Yes. You can use the createwebhook, listwebhooks, getwebhook, updatewebhook, and deletewebhook tools. It's a full management suite for your webhooks, right inside the editor.

Q: What happens if I need to eject a participant from a test meeting?

You can do that. Just tell the agent to ejectparticipants and provide the room name and the participant's ID. It's useful for testing permissioning and moderation features.

Code with Real API Data in Cursor

Stop writing code against mock data. This MCP Server lets your Cursor agent call the real Daily.co API. Ask it to `get_room` and then generate the React component to display its properties. The code it writes will actually work. It's a completely different way to build. You can fetch a list of meetings with `list_meetings` or check a token with `validate_meeting_token`, and have the agent build functions around the live responses.

Automate Your Dev Environment

Need a new webhook for a feature you're building? Just tell the agent: '`create_webhook` for room-joined events pointing to my ngrok URL.' It's done. No context switching to the Daily.co dashboard. Same goes for phone numbers. You can `list_available_numbers` by area code and then `buy_phone_number` without ever leaving your editor. This MCP setup is like having a command line for the Daily.co API that also writes your code.

Build and Test Your App

This isn't just for front-end work. You can write integration tests that use real Daily.co resources. Have your agent `create_room`, run your test suite against it, and then `delete_room` as part of the cleanup script. It's perfect for building robust video applications. The agent can use `create_meeting_token` to simulate users joining, and `get_session_data` to verify state changes.

Setup guide

Set up Daily.co MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Daily.co MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Daily.co transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Daily.co tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dailyco-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}
