Fathom AI MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the Fathom AI meeting intelligence API as tools for Claude. List meetings, fetch transcripts and summaries, and browse teams and members directly from Claude.

This is an unofficial community project, not affiliated with Fathom.

Tools

All list endpoints support cursor-based pagination.

Setup

Prerequisites

• A Fathom AI API key (get one from your Fathom account settings)

• Node.js 18+ (for local/stdio mode only — not needed for remote HTTP mode)

Option 1: Quick start via npx (Claude Code)

claude mcp add fathom -- npx -y fathom-ai-mcp --api-key your-api-key

Option 2: Remote HTTP server (Claude Desktop / Cowork)

Deploy the server centrally (Docker/Kubernetes) so users don't need Node.js installed. Each user passes their own Fathom API key via the X-Fathom-Api-Key header.

Run with Docker

docker build -t fathom-ai-mcp .
docker run -p 3000:3000 fathom-ai-mcp

Configure in Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fathom": {
      "url": "https://your-internal-host/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-Fathom-Api-Key": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Server options

# Default: stdio mode
fathom-ai-mcp --api-key your-key

# HTTP mode on custom port
fathom-ai-mcp --transport http --port 8080

Option 3: Install from source

git clone git@github.com:apspan/fathom-ai-mcp.git
cd fathom-ai-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then configure with the absolute path:

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

Usage examples

Once configured, ask Claude things like:

• "List my recent Fathom meetings"

• "Get the transcript for recording 12345"

• "Summarize my meeting from yesterday"

• "Show me all team members"

API reference

This server wraps the Fathom External API v1. Authentication uses the X-Api-Key header.
