Zoom Developer Platform Skills
This repository contains skills for building with Zoom SDKs, APIs, MCP servers, and integrations across web, mobile, desktop, and server environments.
Repo Notes
- general/references/sdk-upgrade-workflow.md - reusable changelog + RSS version-by-version SDK upgrade workflow
- Repository-level tooling, plugin manifests, and maintenance docs live at the packaging root; raw-skill installs should treat this
skills/tree as the portable boundary.

How to Use
- Product-specific task? → Go to that product's folder (e.g.,
meeting-sdk/) - Cross-product or general task? → Check zoom-general for generic use cases
- Each folder has a
SKILL.md→ Start there for that product's overview
Marketplace prerequisite: Many product skills need a Zoom Marketplace app before their credentials, scopes, webhooks, or SDK keys exist. When a task starts with app creation, app type selection, manifest validation, scopes, event subscriptions, or credential retrieval, route first to Marketplace app management, then return to the product skill. For automated selection, read the Marketplace template index. Use the manifest update workflow for existing General Apps; S2S and Meeting SDK entries are create requests, not General App manifests. For external REST/MCP connectors and manifest-managed actions or triggers, merge the appropriate feature fragment into a complete General App manifest. This is distinct from configuring OAuth for Zoom-hosted MCP servers.
Skill Discovery (Integrated)
This repo uses progressive discovery:
- Agent reads
SKILL.mdfrontmatter first (name,description, optionaltriggers). - Agent routes by intent using
general/SKILL.md"Choose Your Path" plus keyword/trigger matching. - Agent loads full skill content only after route selection.
To improve routing quality in any skill:
- Keep
descriptionspecific and keyword-rich (include "use when..."). - Add practical
triggersfor common user phrasing. - Avoid overlapping triggers between Meeting SDK, Video SDK, REST API, and MCP intents.
zoom-general (Hub)
The zoom-general folder contains:
- Cross-product use cases - Tasks that span multiple Zoom products
- Generic references - Authentication, app types, scopes
- Shared documentation - SDK maintenance, troubleshooting, marketplace publishing
Use zoom-general when:
- You're starting a new Zoom integration and need to choose the right approach
- Your use case involves multiple Zoom products
- You need general platform documentation (auth, scopes, etc.)

APIs vs MCP Routing (Official Zoom Guidance)
| Primary goal | Route |
|---|---|
| Automation, configuration, reporting, scheduled jobs, strict retries/error control | zoom-rest-api |
| AI interaction, dynamic tool discovery, cross-platform AI workflows | zoom-mcp |
| Enterprise AI experiences at scale | zoom-rest-api + zoom-mcp |

- Deep dive: general/use-cases/apis-vs-mcp-routing.md
- MCP transport note: Zoom's current hosted MCP catalog uses Streamable HTTP (client support required).
MCP Server Model (Zoom-Hosted)
- Zoom acts as MCP server and exposes Zoom platform tools/data to external AI clients.
- MCP access is OAuth-scoped and governed.
- The current product-scoped MCP servers are Meetings, Chat, Canvas, Tasks, Whiteboard, and Revenue Accelerator. The unified Zoom MCP Server is a separate all-in-one surface.
- Use
zoom-mcpas the parent entry point, then chain Marketplace app creation -> user OAuth token acquisition -> the product-specific MCP child skill. Select the matching app template from Marketplace app templates.
