Manage LiveKit voice and video rooms

The `LiveKit Real-Time Rooms` MCP Server lets you manage entire sessions. You can initialize a new room with `create_room` or shut it down completely using `delete_room`. This gives your frontend total control over the session lifecycle. You also keep track of who's in the mix. Use `list_participants` to see everyone present, grab specific details with `get_participant`, or revoke access entirely via `remove_participant`.

Control participant media and data

When you need fine-grained control over the stream, this tool works. You can mute a track using `mute_track` or broadcast status changes by updating metadata for both the room (`update_room_metadata`) and individual users (`update_participant_metadata`). Sending data is simple: use `send_data`. Choose 'reliable' if you need guaranteed delivery, or 'lossy' if low latency matters more. This control streams directly into your UI.

Monitor and list active rooms

Need to know what sessions are running? The `list_rooms` tool gives you a quick overview of all currently active live chats on the server. It's perfect for status checks in your application dashboard. When you need targeted data, you can also use `list_participants` to see who is currently connected inside any specific room.

Setup guide

Set up LiveKit Real-Time Rooms MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all LiveKit Real-Time Rooms tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent LiveKit Real-Time Rooms transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();
