Do I need to set up a project before I can use this MCP?

Yes. You can use the list_projects capability to see what's already there, or use create_project to provision a new one first. You'll need project details to run most other commands.

What kind of usage data can I get?

You can query detailed usage data using get_usage_stats. This includes metrics like minutes consumed, bandwidth usage, and peak concurrency for a specific project.

How does the cloud recording process work?

It's a three-step process: first, you must acquire_cloud_recording to get a resource ID. Then, you start_cloud_recording, and finally, you can stop_cloud_recording when the session is done.

Can I see who is currently in a room?

Yes. You can use the list_active_calls capability to get a list of ongoing sessions, and you can also list active whiteboard rooms using list_whiteboard_rooms.

Can I automatically list all active users in an Agora channel?

Yes! Use the list_channel_users capability with the project AppID and the target Channel Name. Your agent will return a list of UIDs currently connected to that session.

How do I start a cloud recording session via the AI agent?

Use the start_cloud_recording capability with the necessary parameters (AppID, Channel Name, and recording config). The agent will trigger the Agora cloud recording engine and return the Resource ID and SID.

Can I monitor the total minutes consumed by my project this month?

Yes! The get_usage_metrics capability retrieves granular consumption data, including audio and video minutes, filtered by date range or project.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Auditing a Live Webinar

Your agent can start a cloud recording for a live event, and later query the status to confirm the recording finished successfully.

Checking System Health

A Live Ops team can ask the MCP to list all active calls and whiteboard rooms to quickly assess system load.

Monthly Billing Report

A Product Manager can ask for usage stats for the last month, getting a precise count of video and audio minutes consumed.

New Project Setup

A developer can use the MCP to list all projects, then create a brand new one, ensuring the environment is correctly provisioned.

Automate a task

Put Agora to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Agora works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Agora to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Agora, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Agora. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
