Overview - Zoom as MCP client


In the [MCP standard](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/getting-started/intro), an MCP client is a system that consumes and uses data from an external MCP server. The connection enables you to bring data and tools from external MCP servers into your users’ AI experiences.

For example, a Zoom user can connect to a PayPal MCP server, and then look up records or make payments in Zoom AI Companion (AIC).
