With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Zoom with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Zoom with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Zoom to VS Code ### Integrate Zoom MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Zoom MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Zoom MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zoom account. It provides structured and secure access to your meetings, webinars, and usage data, so your agent can schedule meetings, register attendees, retrieve recordings, summarize sessions, and analyze participant engagement on your behalf. - Automated meeting scheduling and management: Instruct your agent to create new Zoom meetings, fetch details for upcoming or past meetings, and manage all your session logistics effortlessly. - Seamless participant and registrant registration: Have your agent add attendees or registrants to meetings and webinars, handling all required information and permissions automatically. - On-demand access to recordings and summaries: Let your agent retrieve meeting recordings or generate AI-powered meeting summaries, making it easy to review or share past sessions. - Insightful participant analytics: Ask your agent to fetch detailed lists of past meeting participants or generate daily usage reports, helping you track engagement and attendance trends. - Efficient recording and data cleanup: Direct your agent to delete outdated recordings or manage your Zoom storage, keeping your account streamlined and organized. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ZOOM_ADD_A_MEETING_REGISTRANT` | Add a meeting registrant | This text guides on creating and customizing a user's registration for a zoom meeting, with a max of 4,999 registrants. preconditions include the host being licensed. api scopes and a light rate limit apply. | | `ZOOM_ADD_A_WEBINAR_REGISTRANT` | Add a webinar registrant | Zoom users with a webinar plan can create and manage webinars, broadcasting to up to 10,000 attendees. registration requires a pro plan, specific permissions, and is governed by a "light" rate limit. | | `ZOOM_CREATE_A_MEETING` | Create a meeting | Enable zoom meeting creation via user-level apps with "me".

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Zoom MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoom/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Gmail](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gmail) - Gmail is Google's email service with powerful spam protection, search, and G Suite integration.

With a standalone Zoom MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Zoom tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Zoom and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Zoom tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Zoom while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Zoom scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Zoom data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
