Fathom

You run this MCP server to let large language models interact with the Fathom.video API for managing meeting recordings, transcripts, summaries, teams, and analytics. It exposes practical tools to list, filter, search, and respond to meeting data, with real-time notifications via webhooks.

How to use

Navigate your MCP client to connect to the Fathom MCP server. You will access core API tools to list meetings, fetch transcripts and AI-generated summaries, manage teams and webhooks, and run analyses across your meeting data. Use the available tools to search meetings, retrieve statistics, and understand participant insights. You can request data in either human-friendly markdown or structured json for programmatic use.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js installed on your machine. You also need access to a Fathom API key for authenticating requests.

Install dependencies and prepare the server locally by following these steps:

# Clone or download the project
git clone <repository-url>
cd fathom-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

Configuration

Get your Fathom API key from your Fathom account under Settings > API. Generate or copy the API key for use by the MCP server.

To run the MCP server locally with a standard stdio configuration, use the following configuration snippet. This runs the server as a local process via Node and passes your API key through an environment variable.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fathom": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/fathom-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "FATHOM_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative environment variable method

If you prefer, set the API key as an environment variable in your shell session before starting the server.

export FATHOM_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
