How to Use the LiveKit MCP in AutoGen
Build multi-agent AutoGen debates to coordinate LiveKit room moderation, recording layouts, and SIP routing automatically.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect LiveKit MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect LiveKit to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Debate LiveKit Recording Methods
Choosing the right recording format requires weighing storage costs against editing needs. In AutoGen, your performance agent can argue for `start_track_composite_egress` to save bandwidth, while your quality agent demands `start_room_composite_egress` for a polished layout. They negotiate the best path forward based on your room's active participant count. Once they reach a consensus, the chosen MCP tool is executed automatically without you writing a single line of control logic.
Multi-Agent LiveKit Moderation Teams
Managing a live room requires split-second coordination. One AutoGen agent can monitor user behavior using `list_participants`, while a security agent reviews permissions and triggers `remove_participant` if a user violates your room policies. This setup prevents single-point-of-failure mistakes in automated moderation. The agents verify each other's decisions before taking disruptive actions in your live video sessions.
Coordinate LiveKit SIP Routing with AutoGen MCP Server
Handling incoming phone calls requires complex routing decisions. Your call-routing agent uses `create_sip_dispatch_rule` to map incoming numbers, while this MCP Server lets a separate directory agent check room availability via `list_rooms` to find the correct destination. They collaborate to ensure no caller gets dropped or routed to an empty session. The entire negotiation happens in the background before the SIP call is bridged.
Set up LiveKit 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes LiveKit tools and returns structured results.
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="LiveKit_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent LiveKit 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="LiveKit_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent LiveKit data")
