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.

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
