fireflies_get_transcript
fireflies_get_transcript
Retrieves the complete transcript of a Fireflies meeting with speaker attribution and analytics. This is the primary tool for extracting meeting conversation data to create minds or analyze discussions.
Speaker Email Limitation
Important: Fireflies does not directly provide speaker email addresses. The MCP server infers emails by correlating speaker names with meeting attendee emails via name matching. For guaranteed accurate speaker emails, use Gong or Fathom.
Prerequisites
Fireflies Integration Required
This tool requires Fireflies integration to be configured. See the Fireflies Setup Guide for configuration instructions.

Best Practices
Verify Speaker Emails

- Review speaker attribution before creating minds
- Manually verify emails for important use cases
- Consider using Gong or Fathom if accurate emails are required
- Check that speaker names match attendee names reasonably well
Leverage Speaker Analytics
- Use talk ratios to find balanced conversations
- Identify dominant vs. quiet participants
- Select high-engagement meetings for training
- Track participation trends over time
Transcript Processing
- Filter to specific speakers when creating individual minds
- Use word count to identify substantial segments
- Combine transcripts from multiple meetings for richer training
- Preserve timestamps for temporal analysis
Integration with Mind Reasoner
Creating Minds from Fireflies Transcripts
Natural language example:
Important: The AI will attempt to infer speaker emails, but you should verify the attribution is correct before using minds in production.
