What is the Zoom MCP Server?

This is a middleware service specifically designed for Claude AI, allowing the AI to securely access your Zoom account data (such as meeting records, user information, etc.) and perform operations like scheduling meetings. It's like equipping the AI with a dedicated Zoom assistant.

How to use the Zoom MCP Server?

Simply complete the authorization configuration for your Zoom developer account, and the server will automatically handle the complex authentication process. The AI can then securely access your Zoom data through standardized interfaces.

Use cases

Suitable for intelligent office scenarios that require AI to process Zoom meeting records, automatically schedule meetings, analyze participant data, etc. Typical users include enterprise administrators, meeting organizers, and data analysts.

Main features

Secure authenticationUses Zoom's official Server-to-Server OAuth 2.0 authentication and automatically manages token renewal.

User data accessRetrieve account data such as user basic information and meeting history.

Meeting managementQuery meeting details, recording files, and attendance records.

Debug modeProvides detailed API connection diagnostic functions to facilitate problem troubleshooting.

Advantages and limitations

Advantages

No need to expose Zoom account passwords; authorize through secure credentials

Automatically handle complex OAuth token management

Provide standardized data access interfaces

Support debug mode for easy integration

Limitations

Requires a Zoom enterprise account or administrator privileges

Initial configuration requires developer operations

Functionality is limited by the scope of Zoom API permissions

How to use

Prepare a Zoom developer account

Create a Server-to-Server OAuth application in the Zoom Marketplace and obtain the API key and secret.

Configure environment variables

Store the obtained credentials in the .env file in the project root directory.

Test the connection

Run the test script to verify API connectivity.

Start the service

Run the main program to start the MCP service.

Usage examples

Meeting minutes generationAutomatically obtain meeting recording files and generate text minutes.

Intelligent schedulingAutomatically schedule the best meeting time based on the calendars of participants.

Tutorial on creating a Server-to-Server application

🚀 Zoom MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implemented for Zoom, enabling AI models to access Zoom's API functionality.

🚀 Quick Start

This project implements an MCP server that allows Claude to connect to Zoom, retrieve data, and perform operations via the Zoom API. It serves as a bridge between Claude and Zoom, enabling seamless integration and access to Zoom meetings, users, and recordings.

✨ Features

Connect to Zoom using Server-to-Server OAuth 2.0 authentication.
Retrieve user information and profiles.
Access meeting details and recordings.
Query Zoom account settings and configurations.
Standard API for managing Zoom resources.
Debug mode for troubleshooting API connections.

📦 Installation

Prerequisites

Python 3.11 or higher.
A Zoom account with administrative privileges.
A Zoom Server-to-Server OAuth application with appropriate scopes.
uv for Python package management.

Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/zoom-mcp.git
cd zoom-mcp

Create a virtual environment and activate it using uv:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # For Windows users: .venv\Scripts\activate

Install dependencies using uv:
```
uv pip install -e .
```

Set up Zoom API credentials:

python scripts/setup_zoom_auth.py

This script will guide you through setting up Zoom API credentials in the .env file:

ZOOM_API_KEY=your-client-id
ZOOM_API_SECRET=your-client-secret
ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID=your-account-id

💻 Usage Examples

Testing the Connection

After setting up the credentials, you can test the connection to the Zoom API:

python scripts/test_zoom_connection.py

This script will verify:

Whether the environment variables are correctly set.
Whether OAuth token generation is working properly.
Whether basic API access is successful.

API Endpoints

The MCP server provides access to various Zoom API endpoints:

/users/me - Get detailed information about the authenticated user.
Implement other endpoints as needed.

🔧 Technical Details

Authentication

This project uses Zoom's Server-to-Server OAuth 2.0 authentication. The authentication module handles:

OAuth 2.0 token generation.
Token caching and refreshing.
Environment variable configuration.

The authentication process:

Base64-encode the API key and secret for basic authentication.
Request an access token from Zoom's OAuth endpoint.
Use the token for subsequent API requests.
Automatically refresh the token when it expires.

Development

Creating a Zoom Application

Visit the Zoom App Marketplace and log in.
Click "Develop" in the top right corner and select "Build" from the menu.
In the application details section, enter the application name, description, and consent URL.
Go to "Advanced Settings", enable OAuth 2.0 authentication, and set the callback URL for user authorization.
Save the changes and obtain the client ID and secret for API connection.

Access Permissions

After creating the application, you need to grant the necessary permissions to interact with the Zoom API. The following are common permissions:

zoom_basic - Basic access (read meetings, user information, etc.).
zoom_video - Video conference control.
zoom_audit_logs - Audit log access.
Select other permissions according to API requirements.

Configuration Example

Create a .env file in the root directory of your project and add the following content to configure the Zoom API:

ZOOM_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
ZOOM_API_KEY=your-api-key
ZOOM_API_SECRET=your-api-secret

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Unable to Connect to the Zoom API

Check if the API key and secret are correctly configured.
Ensure that the application permissions are enabled.
Refer to the Zoom documentation to confirm the correctness of API endpoints and parameters.

Authentication Failure

Verify the validity of the OAuth token.
Ensure that the callback URL is correctly set in the Zoom application.
Check if the Authorization field in the request header is correctly formatted.
