## Description

Get the cloud recording metadata for one Zoom meeting. Use when you need to know what a meeting recorded — its video, audio, chat, and transcript files — or to pick a specific file to download. To find a meeting ID, call **List Meetings** or **List All Recordings** first. Returns the meeting's details plus a `recording_files` array whose entries each carry `id`, `file_type`, `file_size`, `recording_type`, and `status`. This is metadata only: the `download_url` on each file does not work on its own — pass that file's `id` to **Get Recording Download Link** to get a usable URL. Example: call with meetingId=`84598792483` → returns the meeting's topic and start time plus recording files such as `{ id: "a1b2c3d4-5e6f-7890-abcd-ef1234567890", file_type: "MP4", recording_type: "shared_screen_with_speaker_view", file_size: 148203910, status: "completed" }`. A meeting with no cloud recordings returns an empty `recording_files` array rather than an error, so check the array's length before reporting a failure. [See the documentation](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/cloud-recording/get/meetings/{meetingId}/recordings)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `meetingId` | `string` | Yes | The meeting to get the recordings for. For a recurring meeting, pass the meeting UUID (available from List All Recordings) to target a specific occurrence — the numeric meeting ID always returns the most recent one. Options are loaded from the connected account. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "zoom",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "zoom-get-meeting-recordings",
  arguments: {
    meetingId: "Meeting ID",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "zoom-get-meeting-recordings",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    zoom: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    meetingId: "Meeting ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
```
