Zoom

Connect your company's Zoom account to Cakewalk so agents can search meetings, retrieve recordings and work with Zoom Docs through the gateway.

Connect your company's Zoom account to Cakewalk's MCP Gateway. Every agent tool call against Zoom passes through the gateway and is evaluated against your Policies.

Requirements

• Zoom account owner, account admin, or the Zoom for developers role.

• Smart Recording enabled. Admin > Account Management > Account Settings > AI Companion > Smart Recording.

• Meeting Summary enabled. Admin > Account Management > Account Settings > AI Companion > Meeting Summary.

These two account features power semantic meeting search and recording content retrieval. They are separate from OAuth scopes and must be on for the tools to return useful results.

Required Scopes

OAuth scopes the app must request:

meeting:read:search
meeting:read:assets
ai_companion:read:search
cloud_recording:read:list_user_recordings
cloud_recording:read:content
docs:write:import
docs:read:export

Step 1: Create a Zoom OAuth App

1. Open the Zoom App Marketplace at https://marketplace.zoom.us.

2. Click Develop > Build App.

3. Select General app and click Create.

You land on the app's Basic Info page.

Step 2: Configure the Redirect URL

1. On Basic Info, scroll to the OAuth Information section.

2. In OAuth redirect URL, paste this URL:

https://mcp-gateway.getcakewalk.io/api/v1/Auth/Callback

1. Add the same URL to OAuth allow lists.

2. Save.

Step 3: Add the Required Scopes

1. Open the Scopes page from the left sidebar.

2. Select Add Scopes.

3. Pick the Zoom product, check every scope listed in Required Scopes above, then select Done.

4. In Scope Description, state that the scopes are needed for agent access through Cakewalk.

Step 4: Paste Credentials Into Cakewalk

1. Back on Basic Info, scroll to the App Credentials section.

2. Copy the development client ID and client secret. Production credentials are only needed if you publish the app on the Zoom Marketplace.

3. Open https://app.getcakewalk.io.

4. Go to All Connections.

5. Find Zoom.

6. Click Edit credentials.

7. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret.

8. Save.

Verifying It Works

The Zoom Connection card flips to Active on All Connections. From an agent platform connected to Cakewalk, ask the agent to list your recent Zoom meetings. If Zoom returns results, the Connection is live.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid redirect URI on consent: confirm both OAuth redirect URL and OAuth allow lists contain https://mcp-gateway.getcakewalk.io/api/v1/Auth/Callback.

• Empty search results despite valid auth: confirm Smart Recording and Meeting Summary are on under Account Settings > AI Companion. These account features are separate from OAuth scopes.
