About Fireflies.ai MCP Server
Connect your Fireflies.ai account to any AI agent and unlock the power of meeting intelligence through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Fireflies.ai automates your meeting notes, transcribes conversations across several platforms, and provides deep analytics to help your team stay aligned. Now, you can query your entire meeting history and manage your transcription bot directly through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Fireflies.ai data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
