“What Did We Agree On?” — Without Uploading Your Meetings Anywhere

Meeting-summary AI tools normally want a bot in your call or a cloud upload of the recording. The Zoom API route needs a marketplace app, OAuth scopes, and — on company accounts — admin approval. But if you record locally (“Record on this Computer”), everything is already on your Mac under ~/Documents/Zoom: audio, video, captions, and the saved chat.

LMCP reads those files directly. Your meetings never leave your machine — the same local-first approach LMCP uses for Teams, Slack, and iMessage.

What Your AI Can Do

zoom_list_recordings — your local recordings, newest first, with what each contains (transcript, captions, chat, audio, video)
zoom_read_transcript — the meeting text, cleaned to readable “Speaker: …” lines (no subtitle timestamps), plus the saved in-meeting chat

Summarize my last meeting: decisions made, action items per person, and anything that needs a follow-up email. Then draft the follow-up.

Chain it with the rest of LMCP: pull the transcript, draft the recap with send_email, create the follow-ups with create_reminder — one prompt, all local.

Setup (2 minutes)

Install LMCP: download the app or run curl -fsSL 'https://local-mcp.com/install?ref=guide-zoom' | bash
In Zoom: record with Record on this Computer, and enable Save captions (Settings → Recording) so meetings produce a transcript
Restart your AI client — the zoom_* tools appear when recordings exist

Honest Limitations

Local recordings only. Cloud recordings live on Zoom's servers and aren't on disk — switch to local recording (it's also the more private option).
Transcripts need captions enabled. Without them, you still get the recording list, audio/video files, and the saved chat.
Recording other people requires their consent — same rules as any meeting recording.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this need a Zoom marketplace app or admin approval?

No. LMCP never talks to Zoom's API — it reads the files Zoom already saved on your Mac. Nothing for an admin to approve.

Do my meetings get uploaded anywhere?

No. The transcript goes straight from your disk to your AI client. LMCP's servers never see or store your meetings.

Which AI clients work?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed locally — and ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Grok, Perplexity through the encrypted Cloud Relay.
