Can I list all active rooms on my LiveKit server?

Yes! Use the `list_rooms` tool. It calls the LiveKit RoomService ListRooms endpoint and returns all currently open rooms with their participant count, metadata, and creation time.

How do I mute a participant's microphone?

First use `list_participants` to get the track SID for the participant's audio track. Then call `mute_track` with the room name, participant identity, track SID, and muted set to 'true'.

Does this work with self-hosted LiveKit servers?

Yes! Just provide your self-hosted server's URL (e.g., https://livekit.yourserver.com) as the Host URL, along with the API Key and Secret from your server's config.yaml.

LiveKit Real-Time Rooms + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating LiveKit Real-Time Rooms 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.
