About LiveKit MCP Server

Connect your LiveKit infrastructure to any AI agent to orchestrate real-time communication environments through natural language. This server provides comprehensive control over WebRTC sessions, participant permissions, and media recording.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings LiveKit data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 41 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Room Lifecycle — Create, list, and delete rooms with custom timeouts, participant limits, and metadata.
Participant Control — List active participants, retrieve detailed info, or remove users from a session.
Media Management — Remotely mute or unmute specific tracks (audio/video) for any participant.
Real-time Data — Send data packets (Base64 encoded) to specific participants or entire rooms for custom signaling.
Recording & Egress — Start room-wide recordings using web layouts or record specific web pages via the Egress API.
Metadata & Permissions — Update room-wide metadata or modify individual participant permissions and subscriptions on the fly.

The LiveKit MCP Server exposes 41 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

LiveKit + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating LiveKit MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
