What is the Daily.co MCP Server?
Connect your Daily.co account to any AI agent to orchestrate real-time video and audio communication workflows through natural language.
What you can do
- Room Management — Create, list, update, and delete video rooms. Configure privacy settings (public/private) and custom properties on the fly.
- Participant Control — Monitor real-time presence to see who is in a call and eject participants or ban them when necessary.
- Domain Configuration — Retrieve and set top-level domain settings for your Daily infrastructure.
- Session Data — Sync and retrieve custom session data across all participants to maintain state during meetings.
- App Messaging — Send data payloads to participants within a room to trigger client-side actions or notifications.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Daily API Key
- Start managing your video infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI acts as a virtual operator, capable of spinning up meeting rooms for support tickets or auditing active sessions without you ever touching a dashboard.
Who is this for?
- Developers — quickly test room configurations and manage WebRTC infrastructure directly from the code editor.
- Support & Ops Teams — monitor active meeting presence and manage participant access for webinars or private consultations.
- Product Managers — automate the creation of unique meeting links for specific project workflows or client calls.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Daily.co into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Daily.co and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 50 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I see exactly who is currently inside a video room?
Yes. Use the get_room_presence tool with the room name. It returns a snapshot of all active participants currently connected to that specific session.
How do I create a private room that requires a token to join?
You can use the create_room tool and set the privacy parameter to 'private'. You can also pass additional configuration in the properties JSON field.
Is it possible to remove a disruptive participant from a call?
Yes. The eject_participants tool allows you to kick specific users by their IDs. You can also set the ban flag to true to prevent them from re-entering the room.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
