# Fireflies MCP server

> Search and analyze meeting transcripts, summaries, action items and soundbites from your Fireflies.ai account.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/fireflies
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Communication & Meetings](https://mcp.tc/c/communication)
- Vendor: Fireflies.ai
- Homepage: <https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp-tools/overview>
- Docs: <https://docs.fireflies.ai/>

## About

Connects an assistant to your Fireflies.ai account so it can search and retrieve meeting transcripts, summaries, soundbites, channels and user data. The documentation lists tools for searching by keyword, date, organizer, participant and channel, plus actions such as sharing meetings and creating soundbites.

Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at api.fireflies.ai/mcp. Users sign in with OAuth, and tools operate within the authenticated Fireflies account. Some tools are read-only and others take actions. The fireflies\_search and fireflies\_fetch tools are experimental and may not be available to all users.

## What it can do

- Search meeting transcripts by keyword, date, organizer or participant
- Retrieve meeting metadata and summaries
- Filter meetings by channel or folder
- Create soundbites from meetings
- Share meetings with other people
- Look up user and team data

## Example prompts

- "Find meetings from last week where we discussed the product roadmap"
- "Summarize my latest meeting with action items"
- "Search transcripts for mentions of pricing since December 1"
- "List the meetings in my Sales channel from this month"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http fireflies https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **fireflies** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Fireflies.ai sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Fireflies** and paste this URL:

```url
https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Fireflies.ai asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Fireflies&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.fireflies.ai%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Fireflies.ai asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Fireflies.ai to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=fireflies&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5maXJlZmxpZXMuYWkvbWNwIn0%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies": {
      "url": "https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=fireflies&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.fireflies.ai%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"fireflies","type":"http","url":"https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "fireflies": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add fireflies --url https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp
codex mcp login fireflies
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.fireflies]
url = "https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http fireflies https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth fireflies` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp`.
