# Daily — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Daily account and use 11 tools for video conferencing straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Daily provides WebRTC video and audio APIs for creating rooms, meetings, recordings, live streams, transcriptions, and telephony experiences.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_daily?ms=1787291220000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `daily_batch_create_rooms`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/daily`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/daily/_endpoints`
