About

# 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](../zoom-mcp/SKILL.md). 3. Route hybrid tasks to both [zoom-mcp](../zoom-mcp/SKILL.md) and [rest-api](../rest-api/SKILL.md). 4. If Whiteboard is central, route to [zoom-mcp/whiteboard](../zoom-mcp/whiteboard/SKILL.md). 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
