Define LiveKit Real-Time Rooms for Your Team

The entire engineering team can access this server via a shared `.vscode/mcp.json`. The agent uses `create_room` to generate session tokens, allowing every developer to start testing live room logic immediately.

Audit and Control Session Participants

When building team tools, you need visibility into who's in the meeting. Use `list_participants` or `get_participant` via the Copilot agent. This ensures that every developer on the team has access to accurate participant status data.

Broadcast and Manage Session Data

Team systems need shared context. The agent can write session state by calling `update_room_metadata` with structured JSON strings, or it can push test messages using `send_data`. This keeps all team members on the same page.
