What is the LiveKit MCP Server?
Connect your LiveKit infrastructure to any AI agent to orchestrate real-time communication environments through natural language. This server provides comprehensive control over WebRTC sessions, participant permissions, and media recording.
What you can do
- Room Lifecycle — Create, list, and delete rooms with custom timeouts, participant limits, and metadata.
- Participant Control — List active participants, retrieve detailed info, or remove users from a session.
- Media Management — Remotely mute or unmute specific tracks (audio/video) for any participant.
- Real-time Data — Send data packets (Base64 encoded) to specific participants or entire rooms for custom signaling.
- Recording & Egress — Start room-wide recordings using web layouts or record specific web pages via the Egress API.
- Metadata & Permissions — Update room-wide metadata or modify individual participant permissions and subscriptions on the fly.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your LiveKit Server URL and API Token/Secret
- Start managing your real-time infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual dashboard navigation to check who is in a room or to force-mute a noisy participant. Your AI acts as a real-time session administrator.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns LiveKit into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from LiveKit and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 41 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

LiveKit for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the LiveKit MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I remotely mute a participant who has background noise?
Yes. Use the mute_published_track tool by providing the room name, participant identity, and the specific track SID. You can set the muted boolean to true to silence them immediately.
Is it possible to record a session for later viewing?
Absolutely. You can use start_room_composite_egress to record an entire room using a web layout, or start_web_egress to record a specific URL. These tools leverage LiveKit's Egress service.
How do I kick a disruptive user from a room?
You can use the remove_participant tool. Simply provide the room name and the identity of the participant you wish to disconnect.
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.
