Zoom: the 360 agent-readiness check
Zoom scores 66 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 9 November 2026. Of the five surfaces an agent acts on, Ora found 2: a public API, OAuth. Sixty-four skills published, and no server where an agent could call them.
On 9 November 2026 the public site at zoom.us scored 66 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, in Ora's Communication & Support category. Ora probes a site the way an agent would: it requests pages with the agents' own user agents, reads robots.txt, looks for the files agents read, and tries the API, MCP and payment surfaces. This check reads the act layer first, because that is what the directory records, then the door, what an agent can read, and whether the company is found and recommended. Ora's one-line summary: Zoom offers solid discoverability and SDK packages, but lacks a published OpenAPI specification for agents to call its API.

| Payments | Can agents pay | 0 of 0 | none apply |
| Total | Grade C | 66 of 100 | 66% |
What an agent can do
The surfaces an agent acts on: an API it can find and call, an MCP server, an agent card, OAuth metadata, a command line. This is the layer the directory records, so it comes first.
In the directory, Zoom sign-in required, tools not seen, not counted; the connector run of 4 November 2026 is on the entry page. Ora's MCP server check for the same domain reads fail; the two look for different things, the directory for a server that answers a handshake and lists tools, Ora for a server it can find from the site.

Payments
The agent payment protocols Ora probes for. A site that sells nothing has nothing here, and Ora scores the layer out of zero when none applies. None of the 6 payment checks applied to zoom.us.
The fixes worth most points
Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Zoom, with what Ora observed. The wording of each fix is Ora's; the 28 checks it runs on an MCP server are listed with their layer and tier.
- OpenAPI spec published: fail, 0 of 7, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found
- MCP server / manifest: fail, 0 of 6, about 3.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found
- Scoped permissions: fail, 0 of 5, about 2.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found
- WebMCP support: fail, 0 of 5, about 2.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found
- MCP Apps support: fail, 0 of 4, about 2.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render.
Our read
Zoom publishes 64 agent skills, the most in this directory, and no MCP server: Ora found no endpoint, manifest or first-party package, which costs 6 points, and the skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json is the one agent file the domain gets right. The rest of the act layer is thin for a company whose meetings every assistant wants to join, with the API described at docs.zoom.us without a machine-verifiable surface or an OpenAPI specification, neither a CLI nor declared scopes, and a single SDK on npm; OpenID Connect discovery on zoom.us is the surface that counts. Two files are the wrong kind: the llms.txt at docs.zoom.us/.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page, and the JSON-LD on the home page describes a Person. The home page itself reads well, 8,293 characters at a 6.7 percent text ratio with one H1, six H2s and thirteen H3s, and five of five sampled pages have text. The server is the gap.
Test your own surfaces
The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at ora.ai and read the same four layers for your own site. For an MCP server, Ora scans the server URL itself and runs 28 of its 132 public checks on it, which is why it is the check this directory recommends; the reasons, the limits and the alternatives are on their own page. The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.
