Docs MCP Server

Overview

The Fireflies Documentation MCP Server enables AI tools to search and retrieve information directly from the Fireflies documentation. This allows you to ask questions about the Fireflies API, find code examples, understand features, and get implementation guidance without leaving your development environment.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to securely connect to external data sources and tools. With the Fireflies Documentation MCP Server, your AI tools can search across all Fireflies documentation including API references, guides, and code examples.

Server Details

The Fireflies Documentation MCP Server is available at:

https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp

This server provides a SearchFireflies tool that searches across the Fireflies knowledge base to find relevant information, code examples, API references, and guides.

Configuration by Platform

Claude
Claude Desktop
VS Code
Cursor
Windsurf

Claude supports MCP servers through its Connectors feature. To connect Fireflies documentation:

Open Claude Settings
Click Add Connector
Enter the server URL: https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp
Save and start asking questions about Fireflies

Once connected, Claude can search the Fireflies documentation to answer your questions about the API, implementation patterns, and best practices.

For Claude Desktop, add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonLinux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop. You can then ask Claude questions about Fireflies documentation directly.

VS Code supports MCP servers through GitHub Copilot. Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "fireflies-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

After configuration, use Copilot Chat in agent mode to query Fireflies documentation.

Cursor supports MCP servers through its settings. To configure:

Open Cursor Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
Navigate to Features > MCP Servers
Click Add New MCP Server
Configure with the following details:
- Name: fireflies-docs
- Type: url
- Server URL: https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp

Alternatively, add to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

After configuration, you can ask Cursor’s AI assistant questions about Fireflies documentation.

Windsurf supports MCP servers through its configuration. Add the following to your ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fireflies-docs": {
      "serverUrl": "https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

After saving, restart Windsurf to enable the Fireflies documentation search.

Available Tool

The server provides one tool for searching documentation:

SearchFireflies

Tool

Description: Search across the Fireflies knowledge base to find relevant information, code examples, API references, and guides.Parameters:

query (string, required) - A query to search the content with

Example:

{
  "query": "how to upload audio files"
}

Returns: Contextual content with titles and direct links to the documentation pages.

Example Queries

Once configured, you can ask your AI tool questions like:

“How do I authenticate with the Fireflies API?”
“Show me an example of uploading audio for transcription”
“What fields are available in the transcript query?”
“How do I set up webhooks for Fireflies?”
“What are the rate limits for the API?”
“How do I search transcripts by date range?”

Troubleshooting

Server not connecting:

For Claude Desktop: Ensure you have Node.js installed (required for npx mcp-remote)
Check that the URL is exactly https://docs.fireflies.ai/mcp
Restart your AI application after configuration changes

No results returned:

Try rephrasing your query with different keywords
Be specific about what you’re looking for (e.g., “GraphQL mutation for uploading audio” instead of just “upload”)
