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

Skill Discovery (Integrated)

This repo uses progressive discovery:

Agent reads SKILL.md frontmatter first (name, description, optional triggers).
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 description specific and keyword-rich (include "use when...").
Add practical triggers for 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 MCP remote server uses Streamable HTTP/SSE (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.
Product-scoped MCP servers are expected (for example Meetings, Team Chat, Whiteboard).
Current routing in this repo uses zoom-mcp as the MCP parent entry point, with Whiteboard split into zoom-mcp/whiteboard.
