Fathom MCP Server — Claude Code MCP server: setup guide
Connects AI coding agents to Fathom to pull meeting transcripts, summaries, and attendee lists directly into chat through an HTTP endpoint.
claude mcp add --transport http fathom-mcp-server https://fathom-mcp-server.com/mcpWhat Fathom MCP Server does
The server exposes six tools that connect your assistant to Fathom recordings. It can retrieve AI-generated summaries, pull verbatim transcripts, inspect teams, and list past calls with date filters. Because the underlying Fathom API only offers read scopes, the server cannot create or modify meetings.
It functions as a pass-through proxy. Meeting transcripts and participant records stream straight to the LLM without landing in persistent storage or log files. If you host the project yourself on Node.js 18+ with PostgreSQL, only OAuth tokens are stored, encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Local development on http://localhost will fail because Fathom OAuth requires an HTTPS redirect address.
Because Fathom lacks a native search endpoint, the search_meetings tool paginates through up to five pages and filters client-side. If your account holds many recordings, query list_meetings with strict date limits instead to avoid missed records.
What it helps with
- pull meeting transcripts directly into the LLM context
- read AI meeting summaries without opening the Fathom dashboard
- search recent calls by attendee name or meeting title
- inspect team member details and assigned groups
Example prompts for the agent
- List all meetings from the past week
- Fetch the transcript from yesterday's standup
- Summarize the call with the design team
