Creativity · MCP — server

MCP Zoom Server

Zoom is the default video conferencing platform in many organizations. The MCP Zoom Server wraps Zoom's OAuth-based API to expose meetings, recordings, and transcripts as MCP tools — letting Claude schedule meetings, pull recorded transcripts, and summarize calls without leaving the chat.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle live meeting controls?

Most servers focus on admin tasks: listing, scheduling, and fetching recordings. Live mute/unmute during a meeting is rare.

Can it retrieve AI Companion transcripts?

Yes — if the account has AI Companion enabled and scope user:read grants access, transcripts and summaries are fetchable via get_transcript.

What scopes do I need?

meeting:read, meeting:write, recording:read, and user:read at minimum. Avoid admin scopes unless you explicitly need them.
