Fathom MCP Server

Stop switching between your IDE and Fathom's web UI. Query your meeting transcripts, summaries, and action items directly from Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

The actual use case: You're coding and remember someone mentioned a specific UI change in last week's design review. Instead of opening Fathom, finding the meeting, and scrubbing through the recording, just ask your AI: "What did Sarah say about the dashboard layout in last week's design meeting?" and implement it immediately.

Built for developers who want meeting context without context switching.

Features

• List Meetings: Search and filter meetings by date, teams, participants, or domains
• Get Summaries: Retrieve AI-generated summaries for specific recordings
• Get Transcripts: Access full meeting transcripts with speaker attribution
• Team Management: List teams and team members in your organization
• Action Items: Extract action items from meetings
• CRM Integration: Include CRM matches in meeting data

Quick Setup

Prerequisites

• A Fathom account with API access
• Your Fathom API key (Get it here)

Configuration

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

For Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or create it if it doesn't exist):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fathom": {
      "transport": "streamable_http",
      "url": "https://fathommcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_FATHOM_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fathom": {
      "transport": "streamable_http",
      "url": "https://fathommcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_FATHOM_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Other MCP-Compatible Clients

Use the same configuration format with:

• Transport: streamable_http
• URL: https://fathommcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp
• Header: x-api-key with your Fathom API key

Getting Your Fathom API Key

1. Log in to Fathom
2. Go to Settings → Integrations → API
3. Generate or copy your API key
4. Replace YOUR_FATHOM_API_KEY in the configuration above

Real-World Usage

This isn't just another MCP server - it puts your meeting context directly into your coding workflow. Here's how you actually use it:

In Cursor (while coding)

Implement based on meeting feedback:

• "Pull up the transcript from yesterday's product review with Sarah - what UI changes did she request for the dashboard?"
• "What did the design team say about the button colors in last Friday's meeting? Update the theme file based on that"
• "Check what Mark mentioned about the API response format in this week's standup and refactor accordingly"

Debug with context:

• "Find the meeting where we discussed the authentication bug - what was the root cause they identified?"
• "What did the customer say was broken in their demo call? Let me fix that exact flow"

Build features from discussions:

• "Get the specs for the export feature from the planning meeting with engineering"
• "What were the exact requirements the client mentioned for the search functionality? Implement that"

Reference technical decisions:

• "Why did we decide to use Redis over PostgreSQL for caching? Pull that from the architecture meeting"
• "What performance targets did we agree on in the infrastructure call?"

In Claude Desktop

Meeting prep & follow-up:

• "Summarize all meetings with Acme Corp from last month"
• "What action items did I commit to in this week's meetings?"
• "Pull the transcript from the sales call - I need to draft a follow-up email"

Cross-reference discussions:

• "Find all meetings where we discussed the pricing model"
• "Show me what different teams said about the mobile app redesign"

Available Tools

The MCP server provides these tools:

• list_meetings - Search and filter meetings with optional transcript/summary inclusion
• get_summary - Get AI summary for a specific recording
• get_transcript - Get full transcript for a specific recording
• list_teams - List all teams in your organization
• list_team_members - List members of your teams

Why This Is Actually Useful

Stop context switching. Instead of pausing your code to dig through Fathom's web UI, just ask while you're in your IDE:

• Code from memory, not notes: "What did the PM say about error handling?" - implement it right then and there
• Ship what was actually requested: No more building features based on vague Slack messages. Get the exact words from the meeting
• Debug faster: "Pull the bug description from the customer call" - fix what they actually reported, not what got lost in translation
• No meeting notes FOMO: Missed a standup? Get the key points without scrubbing through a recording
• Build better demos: "What questions did the client ask last time?" - address them proactively in your next version
• Onboard faster: New to a project? Search all past meetings about it and get up to speed
• Write better PRs: Reference the exact meeting discussion when explaining why you made specific technical decisions
