🧑‍💻 Setup & Usage

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16+ recommended)

• A Fireflies API key (get yours here)

2. Installation

npm install
# or
pnpm install

3. Build

npm run build
# or
pnpm build

4. (Optional) Use a Custom Build Directory

By default, the build output goes to the dist directory. To specify a different build/output directory, set the BUILD_DIR environment variable before building:

BUILD_DIR=custom-dist npm run build

This will output the build to custom-dist instead of dist.

5. Configuration for Claude Desktop

After building, you'll want to point Claude Desktop to your custom build directory. Here's what your terminal output and configuration might look like:

$ echo "Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json mcpServers array:"
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json mcpServers array:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/custom-dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "FIREFLIES_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /absolute/path/to/custom-dist/index.js with the actual path to your custom build output.

6. Running the Server

FIREFLIES_API_KEY=your_api_key npm start
# or
FIREFLIES_API_KEY=your_api_key pnpm start

Or use the setup script:

./setup.sh
FIREFLIES_API_KEY=your_api_key npm start
