### Building with AI coding agents

If you're using an AI coding assistant to build with LiveKit Agents, we recommend the following setup for the best results:

1. **Install the [LiveKit Docs MCP server](https://docs.livekit.io/mcp)** — Gives your coding agent access to up-to-date LiveKit documentation, code search across LiveKit repositories, and working examples.

2. **Install the [LiveKit Agent Skill](https://github.com/livekit/agent-skills)** — Provides your coding agent with architectural guidance and best practices for building voice AI applications, including workflow design, handoffs, tasks, and testing patterns.

```shell
npx skills add livekit/agent-skills --skill livekit-agents
```

The Agent Skill works best alongside the MCP server: the skill teaches your agent *how to approach* building with LiveKit, while the MCP server provides the *current API details* to implement it correctly.
