At a glance: Official Zoom MCP launched April 9, 2026 — hosted at mcp.zoom.us, available through Claude’s connector directory. Covers meetings, Team Chat, Zoom Docs, Zoom Whiteboard, transcripts, and recordings. Community-built alternative: echelon-ai-labs/zoom-mcp (26 stars). Part of our Communication & Collaboration MCP category.
Zoom MCP servers let AI agents manage your meetings — create and schedule meetings, retrieve transcripts and recordings, access AI Companion summaries, and search meeting history — all through natural language prompts. As of April 9, 2026, Zoom has published an official MCP offering hosted at mcp.zoom.us and available through Claude’s connector directory, covering three service areas: Zoom Workspace (meetings, Team Chat, transcripts), Zoom Docs, and Zoom Whiteboard. Community-built implementations remain relevant for self-hosted or custom setups.
Zoom was founded in 2011 in San Jose, California by Eric Yuan, a former VP of Engineering at Cisco Webex. Originally named Saasbee, Inc., Zoom launched its platform in January 2013 and went public on NASDAQ in April 2019 (ticker: ZM). As of early 2026: $4.87 billion annual revenue (fiscal year ending January 2026, +4.4% YoY), ~$22.5 billion market cap, and approximately 7,400 employees. Zoom became synonymous with video conferencing during the pandemic, growing from 10 million daily meeting participants in December 2019 to over 300 million in April 2020.
Architecture note: Community MCP servers wrap the Zoom REST API (v2), exposing meeting management, recording, and transcript endpoints as MCP tools. All major implementations use Server-to-Server OAuth for authentication, requiring a Zoom Marketplace app with appropriate scopes.

| Create meetings | Schedule new meetings with topic, time, duration, and settings |
| Update meetings | Modify existing meeting details |
| Delete meetings | Remove scheduled meetings |
| List meetings | Retrieve active and upcoming meetings |
| Get meeting details | View participant lists and meeting metadata |
Transcripts & Recordings
| Capability | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Download transcripts | Retrieve full verbatim transcripts from cloud recordings |
| Get recent transcripts | Batch-download transcripts from recent meetings |
| Search transcripts | Full-text search across downloaded transcript content |
| List recordings | Browse cloud recordings with date range filtering |

Zoom’s Official MCP Server (Launched April 2026)
On April 9, 2026, Zoom launched an official MCP offering — a significant update from the March 2026 picture when no official standalone server existed. Three services are now available:
Zoom Workspace MCP
- Endpoint:
mcp.zoom.us(remote, hosted by Zoom) - Availability: Claude’s connector directory
- Capabilities: Natural-language retrieval of meeting summaries, transcripts, recordings, and shared documents; Team Chat access; meeting scheduling and management
- Auth: Zoom account (OAuth)
Zoom Docs MCP
- Capabilities: Creation and retrieval of Zoom documents from Markdown — lets AI agents read and write to Zoom’s collaborative document platform
Zoom Whiteboard MCP
- Capabilities: Creation and management of editable whiteboards and diagrams — AI agents can build and modify visual content inside Zoom
These services are registered at github.com/zoom/mcp-registry and documented at developers.zoom.us/docs/mcp/.
Zoom AI Studio (Platform-Level MCP)
Zoom also continues to support inbound MCP — Zoom admins can build custom AI agents in Zoom AI Studio that connect to third-party tools (Linear, Atlassian, Asana, Box, Jira) via MCP. This is a separate use case: building agents within Zoom that pull data from outside, rather than connecting external agents to Zoom.
Bottom line on direction: Zoom now covers both directions — external AI agents can connect to Zoom via the official hosted MCP, and Zoom AI Studio can connect outward to third-party tools via MCP. The wait for an official server is over.

Key differentiator: sweatco/zoom-mcp is the most polished — npm-published, 48 commits, AI Companion summary access, and the most recent updates (January 2026). For meeting management, Prathamesh0901 offers clean CRUD operations. For transcript archival and search, forayconsulting provides organized local storage. For broadest API coverage, mattcoatsworth wraps 10+ Zoom API categories. The most-starred (echelon-ai-labs, 26 stars) is ironically the least featured — it only exposes a single endpoint.
Zoom Workplace Pricing
All community MCP servers require a Zoom account. Transcript and recording features require at least the Pro plan:
| Plan | Price | Meeting Duration | Participants | Cloud Storage | AI Companion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (Free) | $0 | 40 min | 100 | None | Limited |
| Pro | $13.33/user/mo | 30 hours | 100 | 5 GB | Included |
| Business | $18.33/user/mo | 30 hours | 300 | 10 GB | Included |
| Enterprise | Custom | 30 hours | 1,000 | Unlimited | Included |
Prices shown with annual billing. Monthly billing is approximately 25% more.
Custom AI Companion add-on (for AI Studio with MCP support): Additional cost beyond standard plans, pricing not publicly disclosed. The standalone AI Companion plan is $10/month for Basic users.
Known Issues & Limitations
Official MCP is remote-only — The official Zoom MCP (mcp.zoom.us) is a hosted remote server, not a self-hosted option. Developers who need on-premises deployments, custom tool sets, or greater control remain reliant on community implementations.
Small, fragmented community ecosystem — The most-starred community implementation (echelon-ai-labs, 26 stars) only exposes a single API endpoint. The most fully featured community option (sweatco, 48 commits) has just 1 star. Star counts are completely flat since March 2026 — no growth across any implementation. For self-hosted use cases, the options remain modest.
Server-to-Server OAuth complexity — Every implementation requires creating a Server-to-Server OAuth app in the Zoom Marketplace, configuring appropriate scopes, and managing credentials. This is more involved than simple API key authentication and requires understanding Zoom’s permission model.
Pro plan required for key features — The most valuable MCP use cases (transcripts, recordings, AI summaries) require Zoom Pro ($13.33/month) or higher. Free-tier users can only manage basic meetings.
Cloud recording dependency — Transcript retrieval only works with cloud recordings, not local recordings. Users must have cloud recording enabled and sufficient storage in their plan.
6-month history limit — The Zoom API restricts meeting history access to approximately 6 months. Agents cannot access older meetings or transcripts through the API.
Rate limiting — Zoom enforces approximately 10 requests per second via the API. AI agents that chain multiple calls (list meetings → get transcript → search content) can hit limits quickly, especially in batch operations.
No real-time meeting access — None of the community MCP servers provide real-time meeting participation, live transcription, or in-meeting control. They only access data before and after meetings (scheduling, recordings, transcripts).
Admin permissions for cross-user access — Accessing other users’ meetings and transcripts requires admin-level credentials and explicit proxy configuration. Standard user OAuth only accesses the authenticated user’s own data.
The Bottom Line
Zoom MCP servers address a practical workplace need: letting AI agents manage your meeting lifecycle. Schedule meetings through conversation, search past transcripts for “what did we decide about the Q2 budget?", pull AI-generated summaries and action items, and browse recordings — all without navigating Zoom’s interface. For anyone drowning in meetings, the value proposition is clear.
The picture changed significantly in April 2026. Zoom launched an official hosted MCP at mcp.zoom.us, available through Claude’s connector directory. This resolves what was the review’s biggest concern — no official path for connecting external AI agents to Zoom. Three services cover the main use cases: Zoom Workspace (meetings, Team Chat, transcripts, recordings), Zoom Docs, and Zoom Whiteboard. If you’re using Claude and have a Zoom account, the official MCP is now the obvious starting point.
The community ecosystem has stagnated in parallel. Every repo shows zero star growth since March 2026 — echelon-ai-labs still at 26 stars, sweatco still at 1, forayconsulting and peakmojo still at 9 each. For developers who need self-hosted deployments, custom tool sets, or support for clients other than Claude, the community options remain the only path — and they remain modest.
Rating: 3.5 / 5 (raised from 3/5) — The April 2026 official MCP launch resolves the review’s leading criticism and gives Claude users a supported, maintained path to Zoom’s meeting intelligence. A strong $4.87B platform with 300M+ daily meeting participants now has first-party MCP coverage. Keeps half a point off for: official server being remote-only (no self-hosted option), community ecosystem completely stagnant, Pro plan still required for the most valuable features (transcripts, recordings, AI summaries), and the 6-month API history limit. Best suited for Claude users who want to unlock Zoom meeting intelligence without configuring community-built implementations.
