Zoom MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude Desktop direct access to your Zoom account. Once set up, you can create, view, update, and delete meetings — and pull participant lists or cloud recordings — simply by asking Claude in plain English.

How it works

Zoom MCP Server sits between Claude Desktop and the Zoom API. When you type a natural language request in Claude — like “Show my upcoming meetings” — Claude calls the appropriate MCP tool, which makes a secure API call to Zoom on your behalf and returns the result.
1

Create a Zoom OAuth App

Set up a Server-to-Server OAuth app in the Zoom Marketplace to get your API credentials.
2

Configure credentials

Copy .env.example to .env and add your Zoom CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, and ACCOUNT_ID.
3

Connect Claude Desktop

Add the MCP server entry to your Claude Desktop config file so Claude knows how to launch it.
4

Start the server

Run ./run.sh to start the MCP server. Claude Desktop can now access your Zoom account.
Zoom MCP Server runs locally on your machine. Your Zoom credentials never leave your computer — all API calls are made directly from your machine to the Zoom API.
