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.
  3. Route hybrid tasks to both zoom-mcp and rest-api.
  4. If Whiteboard is central, route to zoom-mcp/whiteboard.
  5. 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
