Zoom API
Zoom's public REST API at api.zoom.us/v2 covers meetings, webinars, users, phone, chat, recordings, and dashboards, with OAuth 2.0 or server-to-server auth and event webhooks. Rate limits stack per plan and per endpoint category, which makes capacity planning the recurring complaint.

Zoom's public REST API at api.zoom.us/v2 covers meetings, webinars, users, phone, chat, recordings, and dashboards, with OAuth 2.0 or server-to-server auth and event webhooks. Rate limits stack per plan and per endpoint category, which makes capacity planning the recurring complaint.
Zoom has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Open API: self-serve, documented, with SDKs
Zoom (Zoom Communications, NASDAQ: ZM) is an AI-first communications platform. The flagship suite, Zoom Workplace, combines video meetings, team chat, mail & calendar, whiteboard, Zoom Phone (cloud PBX/PSTN), Zoom Rooms, and the AI Companion assistant.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Zoom scores GOOD on MCP availability. Zoom publishes official hosted MCP servers for products such as Meetings, Chat, and Whiteboard, with endpoints like zoom.us/mcp/meeting and OAuth 2.1 authentication documented on the Zoom developer site. The docs reference the November 2025 MCP specification, indicating active maintenance.
Yes. Zoom publishes an official MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex can connect to it directly. Setup instructions are in the vendor's documentation.
