MCP server for Fathom.video — Access your AI meeting transcripts, summaries, and action items directly from Cursor IDE

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates Fathom.video with AI coding assistants like Cursor. Query your meeting transcripts, export recordings to markdown, search by participant, and manage webhooks — all through natural language.

• 📋 List & Search Meetings — Browse recordings with filters for date, team, participants, or external domains
• 📝 Full Transcripts — Get speaker-labeled, timestamped transcripts formatted as markdown
• 📊 AI Summaries — Access Fathom’s AI-generated meeting summaries
• ✅ Action Items — Pull action items from specific meetings or across recent calls
• 📁 Export to Markdown — Save meetings as MeetingTitle_YYYY-MM-DD.md files
• 👥 Team Management — List teams and team members
• 🔔 Webhooks — Create and manage webhooks for real-time notifications

Quick Start

1. Get Your Fathom API Key

1. Go to Fathom Settings
2. Navigate to API Access
3. Click Generate API Key

2. Install the MCP Server

git clone https://github.com/matthewbergvinson/fathom-mcp.git
cd fathom-mcp
npm install
npm run build

3. Configure Cursor

Add to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

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

Note: Replace /path/to/fathom-mcp with the actual path where you cloned the repo, and add your Fathom API key.

4. Restart Cursor

Restart Cursor to load the MCP server. You can now use natural language to interact with your Fathom data:

• “List my last 5 Fathom meetings”
• “Get the transcript from my call with John”
• “Export yesterday’s meetings to markdown”
• “Show me action items from this week”

Rate Limits

The Fathom API allows 60 requests per minute. The MCP server handles this gracefully.

Security

• API keys are stored in Cursor’s MCP configuration (not in code)
• Never commit your mcp.json or API keys to version control
• Webhook secrets should be stored securely

Troubleshooting

MCP not loading?

• Ensure you’ve restarted Cursor after editing mcp.json
• Check the path to dist/index.js is correct
• Verify your API key is valid

“fetch failed” errors?

• Ensure you’re using Node.js 18 or higher
• Check your network connection
• Verify API key permissions in Fathom settings
