Zoom (No Auth) MCP server

This MCP server for Zoom provides access to Zoom API functionality without requiring direct user authentication. It manages OAuth flows and offers tools for interacting with Zoom recordings and transcripts, making it easier to work with Zoom data programmatically.

Installation Options

Standard Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/peakmojo/mcp-server-zoom-noauth.git
cd mcp-server-zoom-noauth

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Docker Installation

You can also use the pre-built Docker image:

docker pull buryhuang/mcp-server-zoom-noauth:latest

Or build your own Docker image:

docker build -t mcp-server-zoom-noauth .

Running the Server

Start the server using Python:

python -m src.mcp_server_zoom_noauth.server

If using Docker:

docker run -p 8000:8000 buryhuang/mcp-server-zoom-noauth:latest

Available Tools

The server provides four main tools for interacting with Zoom:

Refresh OAuth Token

Refreshes an access token using a refresh token:

{
  "zoom_refresh_token": "your_refresh_token",
  "zoom_client_id": "your_client_id",
  "zoom_client_secret": "your_client_secret"
}

List Recordings

Retrieves a paginated list of cloud recordings:

{
  "zoom_access_token": "your_access_token",
  "from_date": "2023-01-01",
  "to_date": "2023-01-31",
  "page_size": 30,
  "page_number": 1
}

Get Recording Details

Fetches detailed information about a specific meeting recording:

{
  "zoom_access_token": "your_access_token",
  "meeting_id": "meeting_id_here"
}

Get Meeting Transcript

Retrieves the transcript for a specific meeting:

{
  "zoom_access_token": "your_access_token",
  "meeting_id": "meeting_id_here"
}

OAuth Credential Management

This server is designed with a "noauth" approach:

• All OAuth credentials are passed through tool arguments
• No credentials are stored on the server
• The server can run in a headless environment without local authentication flows

To use the tools effectively:

1. Create a Zoom OAuth app in the Zoom Marketplace
2. Configure the app with appropriate scopes for recordings access
3. Complete the OAuth flow to obtain access and refresh tokens
4. Pass these tokens when making requests to the MCP server

For more information on Zoom's API, refer to the Zoom API documentation.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "mcp-server-zoom-noauth" '{"command":"python","args":["-m","src.mcp_server_zoom_noauth.server"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For 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 > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

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

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-zoom-noauth": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "-m",
                "src.mcp_server_zoom_noauth.server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

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 explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-zoom-noauth": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "-m",
                "src.mcp_server_zoom_noauth.server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
