Bring Meeting Transcription
to Cursor
Learn how to connect Fireflies.ai to Cursor and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the 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.
What you can do
- Transcript Retrieval — List recent meetings and fetch detailed summaries, action items, and keywords from any transcript.
- AskFred Integration — Leverage Fireflies' AI assistant (AskFred) to ask questions about your meetings or start new analysis threads.
- Live Bot Control — Invite the Fireflies bot to ongoing meetings (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) by simply providing the meeting URL.
- Conversation Analytics — Access aggregate metrics like talk-to-listen ratios and words-per-minute to improve team communication.
- User & Team Management — List team members and fetch user-specific meeting metadata.
- Transcript Management — Rename transcripts or delete them to keep your meeting database organized and up to date.
- Real-time Monitoring — See which meetings are currently being recorded and transcribed in real-time.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server through the Vinkius Marketplace
2. Enter your Fireflies API Key (found in your Integrations > Fireflies API settings)
3. Start managing your meeting intelligence from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Project Managers — quickly pull action items and summaries from recent project syncs without re-watching recordings.
- Sales Teams — analyze talk-to-listen ratios and sentiment across discovery calls to refine your sales pitch.
- Executive Assistants — automate the organization and renaming of meeting transcripts through simple AI commands.

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 invite the Fireflies bot to a meeting using the agent?
You can use the 'add_to_live_meeting' tool. Simply provide the Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams URL, and the agent will trigger the bot to join and start transcribing.
Can I ask questions about a specific meeting's content?
Yes! The 'create_ask_fred_thread' tool allows you to send a natural language question to Fireflies' AskFred AI assistant regarding a specific transcript ID.
What kind of analytics can I retrieve?
The 'get_analytics' tool provides aggregate metrics such as average words per minute and talk-to-listen ratios, helping you understand team engagement levels across all meetings.
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.
