Enhance AI Capabilities with Digital Samba Embedded API MCP Server

We're thrilled to introduce the Digital Samba Embedded API MCP Server—a powerful bridge between AI assistants and our comprehensive video conferencing API. Whether you're using Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code, you can now manage your entire Digital Samba video infrastructure through natural language commands.

What is MCP and why does it matter?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely interact with external services. By implementing an MCP server for Digital Samba, we're enabling new ways for developers to build video-enabled applications.

Instead of this:

const room = await api.createRoom({
  name: 'Team Standup',
  privacy: 'public',
  max_participants: 10,
  roles: ['moderator', 'participant'],
  toolbar_position: 'bottom',
  chat_enabled: true,
  recordings_enabled: false
});

You can now simply say:

"Create a public team standup room for 10 people with chat enabled but no recording"

See it in action

Watch how natural language transforms complex room provisioning and access control into simple conversations.

Access comprehensive usage statistics and insights without navigating dashboards or writing report queries.

Practical applications by industry

Healthcare

Streamline telehealth operations while maintaining compliance:

• "Create a GDPR-compliant consultation room with end-to-end encryption"
• "Generate a report of all telehealth sessions this month, excluding patient names"
• "Automatically delete all session data 24 hours after consultation ends"

Education

Transform virtual classroom management:

• "Set up weekly study groups for each course section with teaching assistant permissions"
• "Generate attendance certificates for students who attended >80% of sessions"
• "Create breakout rooms that automatically close after 15 minutes"

Enterprise

Optimiіe corporate communication workflows:

• "Provision department-specific rooms with custom branding for each team"
• "Schedule quarterly all-hands meetings with 500-person capacity and Q&A enabled"
• "Export detailed analytics showing meeting patterns and peak usage times"

Quick start guide

1. Install the MCP Server

npm install -g @digitalsamba/@digitalsamba/embedded-api-mcp-server@latest --developer-key YOUR_DEVELOPER_KE

2. Configure  your AI assistant

For Claude Desktop, add to your configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digital-samba": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@digitalsamba/embedded-api-mcp-server@latest", "--developer-key", "YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY"]
    }
  }
}

3. Start building with natural language

Simply restart your AI assistant and start prompting Digital Samba video infrastructure:

• "List all active meetings and their participant counts"
• "Create a webinar room with 1000 capacity and polls enabled"
• "Download and archive all recordings from last quarter"

What's next? We need your input!

As we expand our AI integration capabilities, we're eager to hear your ideas:

Remote MCP server

Would a cloud-hosted remote MCP server that can do things like process webhooks and handle events be valuable for your workflows?

SDK integration

Should we expose our client-side SDK capabilities through a similar MCP tool for even deeper AI assisted control over your Embedded Digital Samba rooms?

Your Ideas

What other AI-powered tools could we provide that would enhance how you build with Digital Samba?
