Fathom AI MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with the Fathom AI API. This server provides tools for accessing meeting recordings, summaries, transcripts, teams, and webhooks.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/Dot-Fun/fathom-mcp.git
cd fathom-mcp
uv pip install fastmcp httpx pydantic
export FATHOM_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
fastmcp run server.py

Features

Tools

• list_meetings: List meetings with advanced filtering (by participants, date ranges, teams) and optional inclusion of transcripts, summaries, action items, and CRM matches
• get_summary: Retrieve meeting summaries (supports async delivery)
• get_transcript: Retrieve meeting transcripts with speaker information and timestamps (supports async delivery)
• list_teams: List all accessible teams
• list_team_members: List team members with optional team filtering
• create_webhook: Create webhooks for meeting notifications with customizable triggers and content inclusion
• delete_webhook: Delete webhooks by ID

Resources

• fathom://api/info: API information and available endpoints
• fathom://api/rate-limits: Rate limiting information and best practices

Installation

1. Clone this repository or copy the files to your local machine

2. Install dependencies using uv (recommended) or pip:

# Using uv (recommended)
uv pip install -e .

# Or using pip
pip install -e .

3. Set up your Fathom API key:

Create a .env file in the project root:

FATHOM_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

The server auto-loads .env for local usage.

Get your API key from the Fathom settings page.

Usage

Running the Server

Local Development (stdio)

# Using fastmcp CLI
fastmcp run server.py

# Or directly with Python
python server.py

HTTP Server

# Modify server.py to run as HTTP server
if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run(transport="http", host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

Integrating with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fathom": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/fathom-mcp",
        "run",
        "fastmcp",
        "run",
        "server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FATHOM_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Integrating with Codex (alternative)

Add this block to your Codex config (~/.codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.fathom]
command = "uv"
args = ["--directory", "/path/to/fathom-mcp", "run", "fastmcp", "run", "server.py"]

Then restart Codex (or reload MCP servers) and verify:

codex mcp list

API Reference

Authentication

All requests require the FATHOM_API_KEY environment variable. API keys are user-level and can access:

• Meetings recorded by the user
• Meetings shared to the user's team

Rate Limits

• Global limit: 60 API calls per 60-second window
• Rate-limited requests return HTTP 429
• Monitor rate limit headers: RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, RateLimit-Reset

Tool Examples

List Recent Meetings

# List meetings with transcripts from the last week
result = await list_meetings(
    created_after="2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    include_transcript=True,
    include_summary=True
)

Get Meeting Summary

# Get summary for a specific recording
summary = await get_summary(recording_id=123456789)

Create a Webhook

# Create webhook for team recordings with all content
webhook = await create_webhook(
    destination_url="https://your-app.com/webhook",
    triggered_for=["my_recordings", "shared_team_recordings"],
    include_transcript=True,
    include_summary=True,
    include_action_items=True,
    include_crm_matches=True
)
# Returns webhook ID, URL, and secret for signature verification

Filter Meetings by Participants

# Find meetings with specific participants
meetings = await list_meetings(
    calendar_invitees=["alice@acme.com", "bob@acme.com"],
    include_action_items=True
)

List Team Members

# Get all members of the Sales team
members = await list_team_members(team="Sales")

Error Handling

The server handles common API errors:

• 401 Unauthorized: Invalid or missing API key
• 400 Bad Request: Invalid parameters
• 404 Not Found: Resource doesn't exist
• 429 Rate Limited: Too many requests (includes reset time)

Code Quality

The project uses Ruff for linting and formatting:

# Install dev dependencies
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run linter
ruff check .

# Auto-fix issues
ruff check --fix .

# Format code
ruff format .

Testing

The server has been tested with real Fathom API data. See TEST_RESULTS.md for detailed test results.

To test manually:

# Set your API key
export FATHOM_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

# Test server loads
python -c "from server import mcp; print('✓ Server ready')"

# Test API connectivity
python -c "
import asyncio
from server import make_request
asyncio.run(make_request('GET', '/meetings'))
"
