Zoom Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Zoom operations including meeting scheduling, webinar management, cloud recording retrieval, participant tracking, and usage reporting through Composio's Zoom toolkit.

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active Zoom connection via
```
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
```
with toolkit
```
zoom
```
Always call
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
first to get current tool schemas
Most features require a paid Zoom account (Pro plan or higher)

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add

https://rube.app/mcp

as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
responds
Call
```
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
```
with toolkit
```
zoom
```
If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Zoom OAuth
Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Create and Schedule Meetings

When to use: User wants to create a new Zoom meeting with specific time, duration, and settings

Tool sequence:

```
ZOOM_GET_USER
```
- Verify authenticated user and check license type [Prerequisite]
```
ZOOM_CREATE_A_MEETING
```
- Create the meeting with topic, time, duration, and settings [Required]
```
ZOOM_GET_A_MEETING
```
- Retrieve full meeting details including join_url [Optional]
```
ZOOM_UPDATE_A_MEETING
```
- Modify meeting settings or reschedule [Optional]
```
ZOOM_ADD_A_MEETING_REGISTRANT
```
- Register participants for registration-enabled meetings [Optional]

Key parameters:

```
userId
```
: Always use
```
"me"
```
for user-level apps
```
topic
```
: Meeting subject line
```
type
```
:
```
1
```
(instant),
```
2
```
(scheduled),
```
3
```
(recurring no fixed time),
```
8
```
(recurring fixed time)

start_time

: ISO 8601 format (

yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ

for UTC or

yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss

with timezone field)

```
timezone
```
: Timezone ID (e.g.,
```
"America/New_York"
```
)
```
duration
```
: Duration in minutes

settings__auto_recording

"none"

"local"

, or

"cloud"

```
settings__waiting_room
```
: Boolean to enable waiting room
```
settings__join_before_host
```
: Boolean (disabled when waiting room is enabled)
```
settings__meeting_invitees
```
: Array of invitee objects with email addresses

Pitfalls:

```
start_time
```
must be in the future; Zoom stores and returns times in UTC regardless of input timezone
If no
```
start_time
```
is set for type
```
2
```
, it becomes an instant meeting that expires after 30 days
The
```
join_url
```
for participants and
```
start_url
```
for host come from the create response - persist these
```
start_url
```
expires in 2 hours (or 90 days for
```
custCreate
```
users)
Meeting creation is rate-limited to 100 requests/day
Setting names use double underscores for nesting (e.g.,
```
settings__host_video
```
)

2. List and Manage Meetings

When to use: User wants to view upcoming, live, or past meetings

Tool sequence:

```
ZOOM_LIST_MEETINGS
```
- List meetings by type (scheduled, live, upcoming, previous) [Required]
```
ZOOM_GET_A_MEETING
```
- Get detailed info for a specific meeting [Optional]
```
ZOOM_UPDATE_A_MEETING
```
- Modify meeting details [Optional]

Key parameters:

```
userId
```
: Use
```
"me"
```
for authenticated user

type

"scheduled"

(default),

"live"

"upcoming"

"upcoming_meetings"

"previous_meetings"

```
page_size
```
: Records per page (default 30)
```
next_page_token
```
: Pagination token from previous response
```
from
```
/
```
to
```
: Date range filters

Pitfalls:

```
ZOOM_LIST_MEETINGS
```
excludes instant meetings and only shows unexpired scheduled meetings
For past meetings, use
```
type: "previous_meetings"
```
Pagination: always follow
```
next_page_token
```
until empty to get complete results
Token expiration:
```
next_page_token
```
expires after 15 minutes
Meeting IDs can exceed 10 digits; store as long integers, not standard integers

3. Manage Recordings

When to use: User wants to list, retrieve, or delete cloud recordings

Tool sequence:

```
ZOOM_LIST_ALL_RECORDINGS
```

Key parameters:

```
userId
```
: Use
```
"me"
```
for authenticated user
```
from
```
/
```
to
```
: Date range in
```
yyyy-mm-dd
```
format (max 1 month range)
```
meetingId
```
: Meeting ID or UUID for specific recording retrieval
```
action
```
:
```
"trash"
```
(recoverable) or
```
"delete"
```
(permanent) for deletion
```
include_fields
```
: Set to
```
"download_access_token"
```
to get JWT for downloading recordings
```
trash
```
: Set
```
true
```
to list recordings from trash

Pitfalls:

Date range maximum is 1 month; API auto-adjusts
```
from
```
if range exceeds this
Cloud Recording must be enabled on the account
UUIDs starting with
```
/
```
or containing
```
//
```
must be double URL-encoded

ZOOM_DELETE_MEETING_RECORDINGS

defaults to

"trash"

action (recoverable);

"delete"

is permanent

Download URLs require the OAuth token in the Authorization header for passcode-protected recordings
Requires Pro plan or higher

ZOOM_GET_PAST_MEETING_PARTICIPANTS
```
only works for completed meetings on paid plans
Solo meetings (no other participants) return empty results
UUID encoding: UUIDs starting with
```
/
```
or containing
```
//
```
must be double-encoded
Always paginate with
```
next_page_token
```
until empty to avoid dropping attendees
```
ZOOM_GET_A_MEETING_SUMMARY
```
requires a paid plan with AI Companion enabled; free accounts get 400 errors
```
ZOOM_GET_DAILY_USAGE_REPORT
```
has a Heavy rate limit; avoid frequent calls

5. Manage Webinars

Tool sequence:

```

ZOOM_ADD_A_WEBINAR_REGISTRANT
```
to work

Common Patterns

ID Resolution

User ID: Always use
```
"me"
```
for user-level apps to refer to the authenticated user
Meeting ID: Numeric ID (store as long integer); use for latest instance
Meeting UUID: Use for specific occurrence of recurring meetings; double-encode if starts with
```
/
```
or contains
```
//
```
Occurrence ID: Use with recurring meetings to target a specific occurrence

Pagination

Most Zoom list endpoints use token-based pagination:

Follow
```
next_page_token
```
until it is empty or missing
Token expires after 15 minutes
Set explicit
```
page_size
```
(default 30, varies by endpoint)
Do not use
```
page_number
```
(deprecated on many endpoints)

Time Handling

Zoom stores all times in UTC internally
Provide
```
timezone
```
field alongside
```
start_time
```
for local time input
Use ISO 8601 format:
```
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ
```
(UTC) or
```
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss
```
(with timezone field)
Date-only fields use
```
yyyy-mm-dd
```
format

Known Pitfalls

Plan Requirements

Most recording and participant features require Pro plan or higher
Webinar features require Webinar add-on
AI meeting summaries require AI Companion feature enabled
Archived files require "Meeting and Webinar Archiving" enabled by Zoom Support

Rate Limits

Meeting creation: 100 requests/day, 100 updates per meeting in 24 hours
```
ZOOM_GET_PAST_MEETING_PARTICIPANTS
```
: Moderate throttle; add delays for batch processing
```
ZOOM_GET_DAILY_USAGE_REPORT
```
: Heavy rate limit

ZOOM_GET_A_MEETING

ZOOM_GET_MEETING_RECORDINGS

: Light rate limit

ZOOM_LIST_MEETINGS

ZOOM_LIST_ALL_RECORDINGS

: Medium rate limit

Parameter Quirks

Nested settings use double underscore notation (e.g.,
```
settings__waiting_room
```
)
```
start_url
```
expires in 2 hours; renew via API if needed
```
join_before_host
```
is automatically disabled when
```
waiting_room
```
is
```
true
```
Recurring meeting fields (
```
recurrence__*
```
) only apply to type
```
3
```
and
```
8
```
```
password
```
field has max 10 characters with alphanumeric and
```
@
```
,
```
-
```
,
```
_
```
,
```
*
```
only
