Docs MCP server | LiveKit Documentation

Overview

The LiveKit Docs MCP server gives coding agents direct access to LiveKit documentation, code search, changelogs, and examples through the Model Context Protocol. Install it in your IDE or coding agent to get accurate, up-to-date LiveKit answers without leaving your editor.

For a broader guide on setting up coding agents with LiveKit expertise, including the CLI and agent skills, see Coding agent support.

Server URL

https://docs.livekit.io/mcp

The server uses the Streamable HTTP transport. If your client asks for a transport type, select http or "Streamable HTTP".

Available tools

The MCP server exposes the following tools:

Tool	Description
`get_docs_overview`	Get a complete overview of the documentation site with a full table of contents and page descriptions. A good starting point for browsing.
`get_pages`	Render one or more documentation pages as markdown by relative path. Also supports fetching code from public LiveKit GitHub repositories by URL.
`docs_search`	Search the documentation by keyword. Returns page titles, hierarchical placement, and content snippets. Supports parallel queries.
`get_changelog`	Get recent releases and changelog entries for any LiveKit SDK or package. Accepts repository IDs or package identifiers.
