What Zoom MCP Whiteboard does

The Zoom MCP Whiteboard skill provides dedicated guidance for developers working with Zoom's Whiteboard Management Control Protocol (MCP). This skill is specifically designed for those who need to authenticate and interact with Zoom's Whiteboard features via its MCP. It includes detailed instructions on authentication methods, endpoints, and available tools that facilitate the management of whiteboards in a Zoom environment.

Using this skill, developers can authenticate their applications using either User OAuth or S2S OAuth, with a preference for User OAuth for accessing whiteboard functionalities. The skill outlines the necessary scopes required for reading and writing whiteboard data, ensuring that developers can effectively manage whiteboard resources. It also clarifies the correct mapping of whiteboard IDs, which is crucial for making accurate API calls.

The skill includes several tools that enable various operations, such as creating new whiteboards, listing existing ones, and retrieving specific whiteboard details. Each tool is clearly defined, allowing developers to integrate these functionalities into their applications with ease. The guidance provided ensures that developers can quickly set up their applications to interact with Zoom's Whiteboard services, making it a valuable resource for teams that rely on collaborative brainstorming and planning sessions.

Overall, the Zoom MCP Whiteboard skill is tailored for developers and designers looking to enhance their applications with Zoom's whiteboard capabilities, providing all the necessary information to get started effectively.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to implement or manage Zoom Whiteboard features in your application.

When not to use it

This skill is not suitable for general Zoom MCP tasks unrelated to Whiteboard functionalities.

Zoom MCP Whiteboard

Dedicated guidance for Zoom's Whiteboard MCP server.

Endpoints

TransportURL
Streamable HTTP (recommended)https://mcp-us.zoom.us/mcp/whiteboard/streamable
SSE (fallback)https://mcp-us.zoom.us/mcp/whiteboard/sse

Authentication

  • User OAuth with Whiteboard scopes is the verified working path for list_whiteboards and get_a_whiteboard.
  • S2S OAuth can reach the Whiteboard MCP gateway and complete tools/list, but tool execution must be validated separately for your app and Whiteboard scopes.
  • Practical rule: start with user OAuth for Whiteboard MCP unless you have already proven your S2S app can mint and execute with the required Whiteboard scopes.
  • The bundled connector expects the token in ZOOM_WHITEBOARD_MCP_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Reference: references/authentication-and-identifiers.md

Required Scopes

Whiteboard MCP read scopes:

  • whiteboard:read:list_whiteboards
  • whiteboard:read:whiteboard

Write-capable Whiteboard metadata advertised by the gateway:

  • whiteboard:write:whiteboard

Whiteboard ID Mapping

For Whiteboard MCP, use the identifier from the URL segment after /wb/db/, not the numeric segment after /p/.

Example:

https://us05whiteboard.zoom.us/wb/db/6iktP8hJT3e5qaCuwFuAGg/p/180968285929472
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                     whiteboard_id            page/subresource id

Available Tools

The current Whiteboard MCP tool surface is:

  • create_a_whiteboard_for_brainstorming
  • list_whiteboards
  • create_a_whiteboard
  • get_a_whiteboard
  • create_a_whiteboard_by_script
  • update_a_whiteboard_metadata
  • create_a_whiteboard_for_meeting_summary
  • create_a_whiteboard_for_strategy_analysis

Some MCP clients namespace server tools in the UI. Treat the raw tool names above as authoritative.

Reference: references/tools.md

Read Workflow

  1. Use a user OAuth token with the Whiteboard read scopes.
  2. Call list_whiteboards to discover accessible whiteboards and confirm the correct whiteboard_id.
  3. Call get_a_whiteboard with that whiteboard_id.
