Thanks for reaching out! Just to make sure I understand you correctly, could you please clarify what you mean by "agent" in this context? Are you talking about a specific LiveKit component, a third-party service, or something else? Also, it would be really helpful if you could share a bit more about the type of connection you're trying to set up. I'm here to help you every step of the way!

Absolutely! You can definitely connect a locally launched LiveKit server with a LiveKit agent. Here’s a simple way to get you started: 1. First, make sure your local LiveKit server is up and running smoothly. 2. Next, set the

LIVEKIT_URL

to point to your local server, like

<ws://localhost:7880>

. 3. Don’t forget to provide your valid

LIVEKIT_API_KEY

and `LIVEKIT_API_SECRET`—these are important for the connection. 4. Finally, run the agent with

python myagent.py dev

if you’re using Python, or the equivalent command if you’re on Node.js. With this setup, your agent will be able to connect, register, and join rooms on your locally launched LiveKit server without any trouble. If you have any questions along the way, I’m here to help!
