How to use Zoom with Cursor

You want Zoom inside Cursor 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 Cursor connects to, and it is where you decide which Zoom tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

  1. Create an Arcade account

    Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.

  2. 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.

  3. Copy your gateway URL

    Every client below needs it.

    https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>

Create a Zoom gateway Opens the gateway builder in your Arcade dashboard.

Connect the gateway to Cursor

Heads up

Cursor does not refresh MCP OAuth tokens automatically. For a persistent connection, set Authorization to “Arcade Headers” on the gateway in the dashboard.

  1. Open MCP settings

    Command Palette (⌘⇧P / Ctrl+Shift+P) → Open MCP Settings, then click “New MCP Server”.

  2. Add the gateway to mcpServers

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-arcade": {
          "url": "https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>"
        }
      }
    }

  3. Try it out

    Ask Cursor to use one of your Zoom tools.

Get started with these Zoom prompts

Cursor 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.
