Zoom MCP server

Zoom MCP Server provides a Model Context Protocol server that helps interact with Zoom meetings through AI assistance. It allows you to connect AI capabilities to your Zoom meetings by setting up a server-to-server OAuth connection.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm installed on your system
• Zoom account with permissions to create apps
• Zoom API credentials

Download the Repository

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/JavaProgrammerLB/zoom-mcp-server

Get Zoom API Credentials

To use the Zoom MCP server, you'll need to obtain the necessary API credentials:

1. Visit the Zoom Marketplace
2. Click on "Build App" and select Server to Server OAuth App
3. Add Scope > Meeting > Select All Meeting Permissions
4. Activate your app
5. On the App Credentials page, note your Account ID, Client ID, and Client Secret

Configuration

Configure the MCP Server

Create a configuration file for the MCP server with the following structure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zoom-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "/PATH/TO/zoom-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID": "${ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID}",
        "ZOOM_CLIENT_ID": "${ZOOM_CLIENT_ID}",
        "ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET": "${ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Make sure to:

1. Replace /PATH/TO/zoom-mcp-server with the actual path to where you cloned the repository
2. Set the environment variables with your Zoom credentials:
   • ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID: Your Zoom account ID
   • ZOOM_CLIENT_ID: Your Zoom client ID
   • ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET: Your Zoom client secret

Usage

Once configured, the MCP server creates a connection between your AI application and Zoom meetings. The server handles the OAuth authentication flow and provides the necessary API endpoints to interact with Zoom's meeting functionalities.

Starting the Server

After setting up the configuration, you can start the MCP server using the specified command and arguments in your configuration file. The server will authenticate with Zoom using the provided credentials and begin listening for connections.

Interacting with Zoom Meetings

With the server running, your AI application can now interact with Zoom meetings by sending requests to the MCP server, which will forward them to the Zoom API after handling authentication. This enables features like joining meetings, retrieving meeting information, and other Zoom API capabilities based on the permissions you set up.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
