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.

🧩 One of 7 skills in the anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Zoom MCP Whiteboard

Dedicated guidance for Zoom's Whiteboard MCP server.

Endpoints

Transport	URL
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.

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.

Read Workflow

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