How to Use the Whereby MCP in Claude Code

Q: Whereby MCP Server: How should I write a shell script to check for available rooms using Claude Code?

The first command needs to be listactivemeetings. This command outputs all current and pending room names. You then pipe this list into a loop that calls getmeetingdetails on each entry to confirm status.

Q: Whereby MCP Server: What is the best practice for deleting recordings in a CI/CD pipeline?

Use listcloudrecordings first. This provides all necessary identifiers. You then iterate over those IDs, calling deletecloudrecording. Always confirm this action before running it against production data.

Q: Whereby MCP Server: How do I script the creation and initial branding of a new meeting room?

Run createmeetingroom with your required end date. Immediately after, call updateroomtheme, passing the newly created room name and the appropriate hex color code. This ensures proper setup.

Q: Whereby MCP Server: When using Claude Code, how do I handle theme changes?

You can either read the current state by calling getroomtheme or force a change by running updateroomtheme. To revert to default branding across all rooms, you'll need to loop through and call resetroomtheme.

Programmatic Meeting Room Lifecycle

In a CI/CD script, you can use `create_meeting_room` to generate temporary testing environments using an ISO 8601 end date. You then capture the output and pass it into another tool. The final step often requires calling `delete_meeting_room` to ensure no orphaned sessions remain. Otherwise, scripting room cleanup is simple: you list rooms with `list_active_meetings`, then delete them when they're done.

Batch Processing and Deletion of Media

Need to clear old recordings? Start by piping the output of `list_cloud_recordings` into a loop. For every ID found, execute `delete_cloud_recording`. This is critical for maintaining compliance. Similarly, you can write a script that checks details using `get_recording_details` and then archives or deletes them based on metadata.

Branding Updates via Scripting

A deployment pipeline might need to update the corporate color. Your shell script calls `update_room_theme`, providing a room name and a specific hex code for the new branding. If you want to revert, simply execute a call to `reset_room_theme`. Alternatively, before running tests, you can pull current settings using `get_room_theme`.
