name: zoom-mcp/whiteboard description: | Guidance for the bundled Zoom Whiteboard MCP connector. Use for Whiteboard MCP auth, endpoints, ID mapping, and tool workflows such as list_whiteboards and get_a_whiteboard. Prefer this skill when the request is specifically about Whiteboard MCP rather than general Zoom MCP. user-invocable: false triggers:

• "whiteboard mcp"

Zoom MCP Whiteboard

Dedicated guidance for Zoom's Whiteboard MCP server.

Endpoints

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.
