Fathom MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing Fathom.video meeting recordings, transcripts, summaries, teams, and team members.

This implementation provides streamlined access to Fathom meeting data while minimizing API consumption. It is optimized for efficiency and simplicity, using the Hybrid output format (TOON text + JSON structured data) by default for less token usage and better LLM processing.

Features

• Search Meetings: Search meetings by keyword across titles, attendees, teams, topics, and summaries. Optionally search within transcripts.

• List Meetings: Retrieve meetings with optional filtering and inclusion of summaries

• Get Meeting Details: Retrieve comprehensive meeting data including AI-generated summaries and transcripts

• List Teams: Retrieve all teams

• List Team Members: Retrieve team members with optional team filtering
