Fireflies MCP

How to Install and Use Fireflies MCP

Fireflies MCP is a powerful tool that lets you connect your meeting insights with AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude. This means you can ask smart questions about your meetings without switching apps or copying transcripts manually. Setting it up is simple if you follow these clear steps.

Setting Up Fireflies MCP for ChatGPT

To get started with ChatGPT, Fireflies MCP offers an easy OAuth integration. This lets you connect quickly without needing API keys.

First, make sure you have a ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Enterprise account with Access to the ChatGPT Connectors feature. Once ready, follow these steps:

1. Open ChatGPT Settings, then go to Connectors, and click Create.

2. Fill in the connector details:

   • Name: Fireflies MCP (or any name you want)
   • MCP Server URL: https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp
   • Authentication: OAuth

3. Check the box "I trust this application".

4. Click Create.

5. Follow the prompts to complete OAuth login.

After this, you can ask ChatGPT questions like "What were the main objections in this week's sales calls?" using your Fireflies data directly in its Deep Research feature.

Setting Up Fireflies MCP for Claude

If you use Claude, connecting is just as easy thanks to Fireflies being listed in Claude's MCP directory. You need a paid Claude plan (Pro, Team, or Enterprise) and access to Claude Connectors.

Here’s how to connect:

1. Sign in to Claude and open Settings → go to the Connectors tab.

2. Click Browse Connectors to find Fireflies.

3. Select Fireflies from the list and click Connect.

4. Authorize your Fireflies account using OAuth when asked.

That’s it! Claude can now access your Fireflies meeting information, allowing you to start asking questions immediately.

Alternative Manual Setup

If you prefer setting it up manually or want to use the desktop apps, you have two main methods:

A. Using Google or Microsoft OAuth manually in Claude Web App:

1. Go to Claude’s Connectors tab → click Add custom connector.

2. Name it (e.g., Fireflies MCP) and paste the URL:
   https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp.

3. Click Add, find the connector on the list, then click Connect and log in.

B. Using Your Fireflies API Key (especially for Claude Desktop):

1. Go to Fireflies Settings → Developer Settings and copy your API key.

2. Open or create the claude.json file and add this config, replacing YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your actual key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      ]
    }
  }
}

1. Save the file and restart Claude to enable Fireflies tools.

For Claude Desktop app, you can also use a config file like this (it will guide you through Google authentication automatically):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.fireflies.ai/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Using Fireflies MCP Tools

Once connected, Fireflies MCP provides handy commands you can use in your AI tool to get meeting data, such as:

• get_user — shows your user profile info
• get_transcript — retrieves a full meeting transcript by ID
• get_transcripts — searches across meeting transcripts with filters

Now you can ask questions like, “List all feature requests mentioned in user interviews,” and get instant answers.

Reminder About Data and Security

Remember, Fireflies keeps your data secure with Zero-Day Retention (ZDR) for anything processed inside Fireflies. But when using external connectors like ChatGPT or Claude, your data follows their terms and retention policies.

Also, keep your API key safe—it gives access to your meeting data and should never be shared publicly.

By following these easy steps, you’ll have Fireflies MCP set up in no time, ready to boost your meeting intelligence directly in your favorite AI tools!
