Set up the ZoomInfo connector
Configure the ZoomInfo connector in AI Studio under Connectors & Tools. The ZoomInfo connector requires organization-managed OAuth—you must create your own MCP app in the ZoomInfo Developer Portal to connect.Creating an MCP app requires a DevPortal subscription, assigned by your ZoomInfo admin.
Create a ZoomInfo MCP app
Create an MCP app in the ZoomInfo Developer Portal:- Go to the ZoomInfo Developer Portal and sign in, or open the API/MCP tab in the left navigation of the ZoomInfo app
- Select Create App
- Enter an app name (this name appears on the consent screen users see when they sign in)
- Select MCP App as the app type—this automatically assigns the required data scopes, so no manual scope selection is needed
-
Add the Writer redirect URI to the app’s redirect URIs:
If your organization is deployed in the EU, use
https://app.eu2.writer.com/mcp/oauth/callbackinstead. - Select Create
- Open the app and copy the Client ID and Client Secret—you’ll need these when connecting the connector in AI Studio
Configure the connector in AI Studio
- Navigate to Connectors & Tools in AI Studio, search for ZoomInfo, and select the connector
- Select who has access by default (all teams or specific teams)
- Select the connection type:
- Level: User level (each user authenticates their own account) or org level (one OAuth connection shared across your organization)
- Managed by: Self managed (your own OAuth app)
- Select which tools can be used by default
- Confirm the redirect URL matches the one you added to your ZoomInfo MCP app, then enter your OAuth client ID and client secret
