How to Use the Fireflies.ai MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I initialize Fireflies.ai inside Pydantic AI?

Install the MCP extension and use the unified MCPToolset pointing to your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass this toolset to your Agent constructor to instantly expose tools like listtranscripts and gettranscript.

Q: Is the deprecated MCPServerHTTP class required for this setup?

No, you should avoid it. Use the unified MCPToolset class instead, which handles the streamable HTTP and SSE transports more reliably under the hood.

Q: How does this MCP Server secure my workspace user details?

The server only accesses user details via getuser and listusers using the API token you provide. Vinkius hosts the server in a zero-trust environment, meaning your team's account credentials and email addresses are never exposed or cached outside the secure execution loop.

Perplexity

Type-safe transcript extraction

Silent data corruption in Fireflies.ai transcripts can break downstream Pydantic AI automation. This MCP Server integrates with Pydantic AI to ensure that every transcript pulled via `get_transcript` or `list_transcripts` matches your exact schema before your code executes. If the Fireflies.ai API payload changes, your Pydantic AI code raises a validation error immediately. This strict validation prevents Pydantic AI from passing malformed Fireflies.ai meeting notes or corrupt speaker data to your LLMs.

Fail-safe live meeting dispatch

Stop worrying about bad meeting URLs breaking your Pydantic AI automation. When your Pydantic AI agent calls `add_to_live_meeting`, the framework validates the parameters against strict type definitions first. You can safely list ongoing Fireflies.ai calls using `list_active_meetings` or rename them using `update_meeting_title` in your Pydantic AI agent. Every Fireflies.ai tool response is checked at runtime, making this setup ideal for mission-critical Pydantic AI operations where reliability matters more than raw speed.

Query AskFred safely with this MCP Server

Raw Fireflies.ai analytics are useless to Pydantic AI if they are structured poorly. This MCP Server lets your Pydantic AI agents call `get_analytics` to pull structured conversation metrics, ensuring talk-time ratios and sentiment scores are typed correctly. You can also query the Fireflies.ai AskFred engine securely using Pydantic AI. By using `create_ask_fred_thread` or `get_ask_fred_thread`, your Pydantic AI agent interacts with meeting summaries while enforcing strict validation on the returned message arrays.

Setup guide

Set up Fireflies.ai MCP in Pydantic AI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
pydantic-ai-slim[fastmcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install Pydantic AI with FastMCP
Run pip install "pydantic-ai-slim[fastmcp]". The FastMCP toolset replaces the deprecated MCPServerHTTP class with full protocol support.
2

Configure the FastMCPToolset
Pass a JSON-style config dict to FastMCPToolset with your Vinkius URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports Streamable HTTP, SSE, and Stdio transports.
3

Create and run your agent
Pass the toolset to Agent(toolsets=[toolset]) and call agent.run(). Swap openai:gpt-4o for any supported model — Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or Groq.

agent.py

from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.toolsets.fastmcp import FastMCPToolset

toolset = FastMCPToolset({
    "mcpServers": {
        "firefliesai-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

agent = Agent(
    "openai:gpt-4o",
    toolsets=[toolset],
    system_prompt="You have access to Fireflies.ai tools.",
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Fireflies.ai transactions")
print(result.output)
