If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.
Plan a Zoom MCP workflow and decide when to use MCP alone versus a hybrid REST API + MCP architecture.
Usage
/setup-zoom-mcp $ARGUMENTS
Workflow
- Determine whether the goal is deterministic automation, AI tool orchestration, or a hybrid.
- Identify whether the client uses Claude's published connector or requires a manually registered General App.
- For manual registration, select the default, Meetings, Canvas, Chat, Tasks, Revenue Accelerator, or Whiteboard MCP template through setup-zoom-marketplace-app.
- If MCP is appropriate, identify the likely Zoom MCP surface and transport assumptions.
- If MCP alone is not enough, define the REST API responsibilities separately.
- Call out auth, scope, and client capability constraints, especially the difference between Claude Cowork and Claude Code auth paths.
- End with a minimal proof-of-concept sequence.
Output
- Recommended MCP strategy
- Connector expectations
- Hybrid boundaries if REST is also required
- Risks and setup notes
- Relevant skill links
Auth Rules
- Claude Cowork: use the published Zoom connector and complete OAuth in Claude's connector flow.
- Claude Code: for manual OAuth, start from the matching Marketplace MCP template, complete user-level OAuth, export
ZOOM_MCP_ACCESS_TOKEN, reconnect the plugin, then continue with this skill.
- Scope requirements differ by MCP server. Use the server-specific scope sets below and the detailed tables in ../zoom-mcp/concepts/oauth-setup.md.

Do not request wildcard scopes. Expand the exact granular scopes from the catalog for the tools
the workflow will call. The old /mcp/docs and /mcp/team_chat paths are legacy compatibility
surfaces, not new server entries.
