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
- Decide whether the problem is agentic tooling, deterministic automation, or both.
- Route MCP-only tasks to zoom-mcp.
- Route hybrid tasks to both zoom-mcp and rest-api.
- If Whiteboard is central, route to zoom-mcp/whiteboard.
- 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
