The MUC plugin is currently only a framework through which you can build 
a chat system. I don't think it does a great deal on its own. It also 
hasn't really been used in production.

Off the top of my head, I think you'd need to subclass either the MUC 
plugin itself or the Room class and implement some kind of store of 
available rooms and the ability for users to create new ones. However, 
you might be able to get some limited functionality by using the "room" 
directive, like this:

Room roomname DJabberd::Plugin::MUC::Room

However, the MUC plugin should really have a big "work in progress" sign 
hung on it, since it hasn't really been worked on beyond the bare 
basics, and it's probably going to change a little before its finished. 
If you need multi-user chat, for now I'd suggest using an external 
component for this via DJabberd::Component::External.
