What it does
“Design a Zoom MCP workflow for Claude. Use when deciding whether Zoom MCP fits a task, when planning tool-based AI workflows, or when separating MCP responsibilities from REST API responsibilities.”
Generated summary from the skill's own text
This skill helps agents decide whether to use Zoom MCP for agentic interactions versus REST APIs for deterministic tasks, and route work between MCP-capable clients and backend automation appropriately. It covers MCP fit assessment, hybrid architectures, and clarifies transport and authentication assumptions to avoid common architectural mistakes.
When to use it
- Deciding if Zoom MCP or REST API fits your use case
- Planning tool-based AI workflows with Claude or MCP clients
- Designing hybrid architectures mixing agentic and deterministic tasks
- Assessing whether Whiteboard workflows need MCP routing
When not to
- Building purely deterministic backend automation without AI agents
- Implementing Zoom integrations using only REST APIs directly
- When client cannot support MCP transport or authentication

--- name: design-mcp-workflow description: Design a Zoom MCP workflow for Claude. Use when deciding whether Zoom MCP fits a task, when planning tool-based AI workflows, or when separating MCP responsibilities from REST API responsibilities. user-invocable: false --- # Design MCP Workflow Use this skill when the user wants Claude or another MCP-capable client to interact with Zoom via tool calls instead of only deterministic API code. ## Covers - MCP fit assessment - REST API vs MCP boundaries - Hybrid architectures - Connector expectations - Whiteboard-specific MCP routing ## Workflow 1. Decide whether the problem is agentic tooling, deterministic automation, or both. 2. Route MCP-only tasks to [zoom-mcp](../zoom-mcp/SKILL.md). 3. Route hybrid tasks to both [zoom-mcp](../zoom-mcp/SKILL.md) and [rest-api](../rest-api/SKILL.md). 4. If Whiteboard is central, route to [zoom-mcp/whiteboard](../zoom-mcp/whiteboard/SKILL.md). 5. If the client needs manual app registration, route to [setup-zoom-marketplace-app](../setup-zoom-marketplace-app/SKILL.md) and select the matching MCP template. 6. Call out transport, auth, and client capability assumptions explicitly. ## Common Mistakes - Using MCP for deterministic backend jobs that should stay in REST - Treating MCP as a replacement for all API design - Ignoring client transport support and auth requirements
