Description
design-mcp-workflow is a skill from Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins, listed on skills.sh. It helps design a Zoom MCP workflow for Claude, for cases where the user wants Claude or another MCP client to work with Zoom through tool calls rather than only through fixed API code. It covers an assessment of whether MCP fits the task, the boundary between REST API and MCP, hybrid architectures that use both, the connector expectations, and the routing for Zoom Whiteboard tasks. The workflow decides whether the problem is agentic tooling, deterministic automation or both. MCP-only tasks go to the Zoom MCP skill, hybrid tasks go to both the MCP and REST API skills, and Whiteboard-centred work goes to the whiteboard route. It asks the designer to state the transport, authentication and client capability assumptions explicitly. It suits developers designing tool-based AI workflows for Zoom who need to decide where MCP belongs in the architecture.…
