How to Set Up and Use Zoom
The Zoom No-Auth MCP Server lets AI assistants access Zoom cloud recordings and meeting transcripts without requiring end-user authentication at the MCP level. Credentials are passed as tool arguments rather than stored in config files, making it suitable for server-side or headless deployments. It exposes four focused tools covering token refresh, recording listing, recording details, and transcript retrieval.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9 or later
- A Zoom account with cloud recording enabled
- A Zoom OAuth 2.0 app configured in the Zoom Marketplace (Server-to-Server or OAuth flow)
- Your Zoom Client ID, Client Secret, and a valid Refresh Token
- Git to clone the repository
Clone the repository
Download the mcp-server-zoom-noauth source.
git clone https://github.com/peakmojo/mcp-server-zoom-noauth.git
cd mcp-server-zoom-noauthInstall Python dependencies
Install all required packages.
pip install -r requirements.txtStart the MCP server
Launch the server module. No environment variables are required at startup since credentials are passed per tool call.
python -m src.mcp_server_zoom_noauth.serverRegister the server in Claude Desktop
Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json. The server requires no env vars in the config since auth is handled per-request.

}
}Obtain a Zoom access token
Use the zoom_refresh_token tool to exchange your refresh token for an access token. This token is then passed to the other tools.

Example prompts for retrieving Zoom recordings and transcripts through Claude.
- "List all my Zoom cloud recordings from January 2024"
- "Get the transcript for Zoom meeting ID 123456789"
- "Summarize the key discussion points from my last recorded Zoom call"
- "Fetch recording details for meeting 987654321 and extract action items"
- "Refresh my Zoom access token using my refresh token and client credentials"Troubleshooting Zoom
Token refresh returns 401 Invalid client credentials
Double-check your zoom_client_id and zoom_client_secret. These come from your Zoom Marketplace app settings under App Credentials, not from your Zoom account password. Ensure the app is published or in development mode.
zoom_list_recordings returns an empty array
Verify that cloud recording is enabled for your Zoom account and that recordings actually exist in the date range specified by from_date and to_date (format: YYYY-MM-DD). The access token must belong to a user who owns the recordings.
ModuleNotFoundError on server startup
Run pip install -r requirements.txt from the project root and ensure you are using the correct Python environment. The -m flag requires the current directory to be the project root so Python can resolve the src package.
