What is the Fireflies.ai MCP Server?
Connect your Fireflies.ai account to any AI agent and take full control of your meeting documentation and conversational knowledge retrieval through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Meeting Orchestration — List and manage meeting transcripts programmatically, including retrieving AI summaries, action items, and complete text logs
- Live Transcription — Programmatically invite the Fireflies bot to ongoing Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams calls for real-time recording and documentation
- Transcript Intelligence — Use 'AskFred' to ask complex natural language questions about specific meeting contents and retrieve instant, high-fidelity answers
- Asset Management — Upload public audio URLs for automated transcription and manage meeting soundbites to preserve critical conversation clips
- Organizational Visibility — Retrieve team member directories and account metadata to coordinate meeting knowledge across your entire workspace
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key from your Fireflies.ai settings (Settings > API)
3. Start managing your meeting intelligence from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual note-taking or scrubbing through hours of recordings to find a decision. Your AI acts as your dedicated meeting analyst and knowledge coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Product Managers — instantly retrieve action items and summaries from user research calls using natural language
- Sales Teams — monitor customer sentiment and identify key pain points from recent demos without leaving your workspace
- Operations Leads — automate the documentation of team syncs and manage meeting access across the organization

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Fireflies.ai into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Fireflies.ai and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 12 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Fireflies API Key?
Log in to your Fireflies.ai dashboard, navigate to Settings > API, and copy your unique token.
What is AskFred?
AskFred is an AI-powered meeting assistant that can answer questions about any of your recorded meetings based on their transcript data.
Can I record a meeting that is already in progress?
Yes! Use the add_to_live_meeting tool and provide the join URL. The Fireflies bot will attempt to join the call immediately.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
