Zoom MCP
Schedule and manage Zoom meetings via MCP. Create meetings, retrieve recordings, manage webinars.
Viable option — review the tradeoffs
You need to automate Zoom meeting lifecycle management (creation, updates, cancellations) and retrieve meeting data (recordings, transcripts, attendance) without building custom API integrations.
Fast metadata queries (participants, duration, join/leave times). Transcript and recording retrieval works if cloud recording + auto-transcription are enabled on your Zoom plan—otherwise you get only metadata. Rate limits vary by operation (light/medium); meeting creation capped at 100 requests/day. Start URLs expire in 2 hours for standard hosts, 90 days for service accounts. No direct audio/video file access—only structured data and text transcripts.
You need to query Zoom meeting analytics and attendance patterns across your organization without manual Zoom UI navigation.
Metadata queries are reliable and fast. Meeting summaries (AI Companion feature) require Pro+ host plan and AI Companion enabled—not available for end-to-end encrypted meetings. Webinar data requires Pro plan + webinar add-on. Expect to handle permission boundaries: agents can only access data the authenticated user has permission to see.
Transcript and recording access gated by plan features
Retrieving meeting transcripts requires Zoom cloud recording + auto-transcription enabled on your account. Recording metadata and download links are available, but audio/video files themselves are not accessible through MCP—only structured metadata and text transcripts. If your Zoom plan lacks these features, transcript queries will fail silently or return empty.
Rate limits and daily caps on write operations
Meeting creation is capped at 100 requests/day. Meeting updates are limited to 100 updates per meeting in 24 hours. Start URL renewal is capped at 100 requests/day. These caps can bottleneck high-volume scheduling workflows or multi-meeting update loops.
Zoom OAuth app registration and scope configuration
You must create an OAuth app in the Zoom App Marketplace, configure redirect URIs, and explicitly grant scopes (meeting:write, recording:read, webinar:read, etc.). Minimum scope is user:read:user. For account-wide operations, you also need to create a Zoom service account with admin role and assign granular permissions (Users, Recording Management, Meetings, Webinars, etc.).
