- 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.

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.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
