Connecting Zoom (setup checklist)
Step-by-step checklist for connecting the Zoom MCP connector — General App on the Zoom Marketplace, scopes for meetings and recordings, and credentials.
- integrations
- mcp
- zoom
- oauth
This checklist walks you through connecting Zoom to Harriet, giving the assistant access to meetings, transcripts, and cloud recordings.
You'll need: a Zoom account that can create Marketplace apps, and access to Harriet's Company settings → Integrations.
How access works (before you start)
Installing this connector registers an OAuth app — Harriet does not access Zoom as the admin. Each user connects their own Zoom account under Profile → Integrations, and Harriet only sees the meetings and recordings that user can access.
Step 1 — Create a Zoom app
- Go to marketplace.zoom.us and sign in.
- Click Develop (top right) → Build App.
- Select General App and click Create; name it (e.g. Harriet).
Step 2 — Add the redirect URLs
In the app's Basic Information, add both OAuth redirect URLs:
https://hrharriet.com/bots/integrations/mcp/oauth/callback/
https://harriethq.com/bots/integrations/mcp/oauth/callback/
The match must be exact, including the trailing slash.
Step 3 — Add the scopes
In the left sidebar, open Scopes → Add Scopes and add:
Recordings & transcripts
recording:read:list_recordings
recording:read:recording
recording:read:list_recording_files
Meetings
meeting:read:list_meetings
meeting:read:meeting
User
user:read:user
user:read:email
Step 4 — Copy the credentials
In the left sidebar, open App Credentials, copy the Client ID, click Show next to the Client Secret and copy it too.
Step 5 — Install in Harriet and finish
- In Harriet, go to Connectors → Browse catalog, find Zoom, and click Install.
- Paste the Client ID and Client Secret, click Review, then confirm.
- Use Sync tools to load the Zoom actions and enable the tools you want.
- Attach the connector to a skill and assign the skill.
- Each user connects their own Zoom account under Profile → Integrations and clicks Allow on Zoom's consent screen.
- Verify: ask Harriet something like "list my Zoom recordings from this week."
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Most likely cause |
|---|---|
| OAuth error at Zoom sign-in | Redirect URL missing or inexact (Step 2), or Client ID/secret mismatch (Step 4). |
| Connected but recordings/meetings missing | Scopes missing on the Zoom app (Step 3) — users must reconnect after scope changes. |
| A user sees different meetings than expected | Expected — Harriet sees exactly what that user's Zoom account can access. |
