Zoom MCP server

The Zoom MCP Server allows you to manage Zoom meetings programmatically through Claude or Cursor using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a standardized interface to create, update, delete, and retrieve Zoom meetings, making it simple to control your Zoom activities through AI tools.

Setting Up the Zoom MCP Server

Prerequisites

Before using the Zoom MCP Server, you'll need to obtain the necessary Zoom API credentials:

1. Visit the Zoom Marketplace
2. Build a new app and select Server to Server OAuth App
3. Add Scope > Meeting > Select All Meeting Permissions
4. Activate your app
5. Note your Account ID, Client ID, and Client Secret from the App Credentials page

Configuration

To integrate the Zoom MCP Server with Claude or Cursor, add the following to your MCP configuration file:

• For Claude: claude_desktop_config.json
• For Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zoom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "@prathamesh0901/zoom-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID": "Your Zoom Account ID",
        "ZOOM_CLIENT_ID": "Your Zoom Client ID",
        "ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET": "Your Zoom Client Secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Be sure to replace the placeholder credentials with your actual Zoom App credentials.

Using the Zoom MCP Server

The Zoom MCP Server provides four main tools for managing meetings:

Get Meetings

Retrieves all your active Zoom meetings.

Example usage in Claude or Cursor:

I want to see all my scheduled Zoom meetings.

Create Meeting

Creates a new Zoom meeting with specified parameters.

Example usage:

Create a new Zoom meeting titled "Weekly Team Sync" for tomorrow at 2pm that lasts 45 minutes.

Update Meeting

Modifies an existing Zoom meeting.

Example usage:

Update my Zoom meeting with ID 123456789 to start at 3pm instead and change the title to "Project Review".

Delete Meeting

Removes a Zoom meeting.

Example usage:

Delete the Zoom meeting with ID 123456789.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the Zoom MCP Server:

• Verify your Zoom API credentials are correct
• Ensure your Zoom app has the necessary meeting permissions
• Check that your MCP configuration file is properly formatted
• Confirm that your Zoom account is active and in good standing

For more detailed error messages, you can run the server manually to see the output:

npx @prathamesh0901/zoom-mcp-server

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 "zoom" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@prathamesh0901/zoom-mcp-server"],"env":{"ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID":"Your Zoom Account ID","ZOOM_CLIENT_ID":"Your Zoom Client ID","ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET":"Your Zoom Client Secret"}}'

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": {
        "zoom": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@prathamesh0901/zoom-mcp-server"
            ],
            "env": {
                "ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID": "Your Zoom Account ID",
                "ZOOM_CLIENT_ID": "Your Zoom Client ID",
                "ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET": "Your Zoom Client Secret"
            }
        }
    }
}

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": {
        "zoom": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@prathamesh0901/zoom-mcp-server"
            ],
            "env": {
                "ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID": "Your Zoom Account ID",
                "ZOOM_CLIENT_ID": "Your Zoom Client ID",
                "ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET": "Your Zoom Client Secret"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
