Fathom MCP Server

An MCP server for the Fathom AI meeting intelligence API, built with FastMCP.

Responses are optimized for LLM consumption -- compact plaintext instead of raw JSON, with playback URLs stripped and transcripts chunked by time window.

Tools

All list tools support page and page_size params with random page access (no sequential fetching required). Use participants on list_meetings to filter by user email.

Prerequisites

1. Install uv:

# macOS (recommended -- required for Claude Desktop compatibility)
brew install uv

# Linux / other
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

2. Get a Fathom API key: go to Fathom Settings > API Access > Add + > Generate API Key.

Quick Start

No cloning or installing required. Just add the server to your MCP client config.

Claude Code

claude mcp add Fathom -e FATHOM_API_KEY=your-api-key -- uvx fathom-ai-mcp

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config file:

• Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json in your project root
• Windsurf: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Fathom": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["fathom-ai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FATHOM_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Download the .mcpb file from the latest release and open it -- Claude Desktop will install the server and prompt for your API key.

Alternatively, add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Fathom": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["fathom-ai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FATHOM_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Claude Desktop requires uvx to be in a standard system path. On macOS, install uv via Homebrew (brew install uv) to ensure compatibility.
