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.

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
