How to use Zoom with Claude Code
You want Zoom inside Claude Code so it can check the next meetings on my calendar, prepare for an upcoming meeting, catch up on a missed meeting, and share a meeting recording — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Zoom gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Zoom tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Zoom tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Zoom tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-
Try it out
Open Claude Code in your project and ask it to use one of your Zoom tools.

Get started with these Zoom prompts
Claude Code can now act on your Zoom account. Click a prompt to copy it.
Keep Zoom access read-only and scoped to each user's account, especially when meetings contain sensitive recordings or transcripts. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so an agent can retrieve approved meeting context without exposing content beyond that scope.
