Connect to Zoom MCP Servers

Zoom MCP servers map to specific Zoom product areas, such as Meetings, Chat, or Whiteboard.

External MCP clients (AI agents) connect to Zoom MCP servers, and enable users to interact with Zoom resources through natural language—for example, to schedule meetings, generate summaries, and automate Zoom workflows.

Requirements

  • A Zoom account with admin or developer authorizations.
  • Authentication credentials for Zoom MCP servers.
  • Licenses for respective Zoom products.

How it works

  1. Create an integration point for the MCP client on the Zoom App Marketplace.
  2. Define OAuth scopes to define the data and actions each client can access.
  3. Get an OAuth 2.0 access token.
  4. Connect external MCP clients to Zoom's MCP endpoints.

1 Create an integration point on Zoom

To create an integration point on Zoom, create an app on the Zoom App Marketplace:

  1. Log into the Zoom App Marketplace as a developer or admin.
  2. Click Develop > Build app.
  3. Select General app and click Create.

Manual registration

Zoom remote MCP servers only support manual client registration through app creation and do not support other client registration methods such as Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) or Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD).

2 Define OAuth scopes

Zoom app scopes define the specific permissions or access levels that an app has when interacting with Zoom.

  1. In your Zoom app's configuration screen, click Scopes and then Add scopes.
  2. The scopes required your integration are listed in the respective tools section of the product-specific Zoom MCP servers.
  3. After you add the required scopes, click Done.

3 Connect external MCP clients to Zoom's MCP servers

MCP clients must follow the MCP standard in order to connect to MCP servers. We include some examples below, but recommend you follow the instructions provided by the MCP client provider.

Zoom remote MCP servers require manual client registration. This means the MCP client must perform a standard OAuth flow to obtain an access token before communicating with the MCP server endpoint.

  1. To get the access token, send a POST request to https://zoom.us/oauth/token.

    Note

    While Zoom uses traditional OAuth 2.0, the MCP specification mandates OAuth 2.1 compliance, so ensure your client includes the required code_verifier (PKCE) during the exchange.

  2. Once you have the access token, your MCP client must include it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all requests to the Zoom MCP server.
