fireflies_generate_summary
Generate a summary of a meeting transcript
LABSCO SUMMARY
Keyword search across transcripts is the tool that makes a meeting archive worth having.
Recording every meeting produces an archive nobody reads, because finding the one where a decision was made means remembering which meeting it was. Searching the content instead of the titles inverts that — you look for what was said, not for when. Being able to generate a summary on demand matters for the same reason: the summary you want is usually about a question you have now, not the one the meeting was nominally about. Four tools, no write path, so this reads your meetings and does not change them.
What it is
A Fireflies.ai client with four tools: list transcripts with filtering, search them by keyword, read one in detail, and generate a summary of it.
What you get
- fireflies_search_transcripts finds meetings by what was said in them rather than by title or date.
- fireflies_get_transcripts lists with filters, and fireflies_get_transcript_details opens a single one in full.
- fireflies_generate_summary produces the summary from the transcript, so an old meeting can be summarised now rather than only at the time.
Requirements
FIREFLIES_API_KEY.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npm install -g fireflies-mcp-server, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Finding the meeting where something was decided
Search transcripts for the phrase or the name rather than scrolling a list of dates, then open the one that matched.
02
Catching up on what you missed
List recent transcripts with a filter and generate a summary of the one you need, rather than reading it end to end.
