Fireflies + Claude: How to Connect Your Meetings to Claude [2026 Guide]

A Claude connector for your meeting tool turns every call into something you can query and build from, so you can prep for a conversation, count how often a feature came up across a quarter of interviews, or turn Friday's call into a plan in your own format. Connecting Fireflies to Claude takes about a minute. As the #1 AI Assistant for meetings, email, Slack, CRM, and work, Fireflies was the first AI meeting tool listed in Anthropic's Claude Connectors Directory, added on August 21, 2025 and now out of beta into a permanent listing.

This guide covers what the connector does, how to set it up across Claude Web, Desktop, Mobile, Claude Code, and Cowork, the prompts worth saving, and what happens to your meeting data once it reaches Claude.

What is the Fireflies connector for Claude?

The Fireflies connector for Claude is the official integration that makes your Fireflies transcripts, summaries, and action items available inside Claude, so you can ask questions about them and build from what you find without exporting anything. It runs on the Model Context Protocol, the open standard that lets Claude read from outside tools, so nothing has to be exported or pasted in by hand. MCP is the shared standard that Anthropic and a growing list of tools now build on, and it's what lets one authorization replace a running export.

For how the protocol works and which other assistants Fireflies connects to, see the Fireflies MCP server hub.

The connector follows the permissions you already have in Fireflies, so Claude can only reach meetings you're authorized to view, and it acts on your account the same way you could yourself. Most of what it does is read your transcripts, summaries, and action items to answer you. It can't write to your other tools, and it only works once it receives prompts from you. It won't join a call or push updates into your workflow on its own.

Does Claude have an official Fireflies connector?

Yes. Claude has an official Fireflies connector in Anthropic's Claude Connectors Directory. Fireflies was the first AI meeting tool to earn a spot in that directory, listed on August 21, 2025. The beta behind it began on June 25 and drew real engagement, with 55% of users returning for more than one session and usage growing 20% week over week. The connector has since moved out of beta into a permanent listing.

How to connect Fireflies to Claude

You'll need a Fireflies account and a paid Claude plan (Pro, Team, or Enterprise). The main setup runs through the Connectors Directory and works the same on Claude Web and the desktop app.

In Claude Web and Desktop

Connecting takes four steps and about a minute.

1. Sign in to Claude, open the Settings menu, and go to the Connectors tab.
2. Click Browse Connectors to see the full directory.
3. Find Fireflies in the list and select it.
4. Click Connect, then authorize the OAuth connection when Fireflies prompts you.

Once you authorize, you can start querying your meetings in Claude right away. On individual accounts the menu may appear as Customize instead of Settings, and Claude moves these labels around as the interface changes, so check both if the tab isn't where you expect.

There's also an advanced, manual route for the desktop app if the directory flow doesn’t suit you. On Claude Web you can add Fireflies as a custom connector, pasting the Fireflies MCP server URL and authorizing through Google or Microsoft OAuth. On Claude Desktop you set it up in a local JSON config file, using either that same OAuth route or a Fireflies API key from your developer settings. The current server URL and config are in the Fireflies MCP setup guide, ready to copy directly.

On Claude Mobile

Connectors attach to your Claude account, so the Fireflies connection you set up on the web or desktop is ready when you open Claude on your phone. Since there's no separate mobile setup, you can simply ask about a meeting from the iOS or Android app the same way you would on your laptop.

In Claude Code (for developers)

Claude Code supports the same connector, so you can bring meeting context into a coding session or an agent workflow. The directory authorization carries over to it. If you'd rather wire it in by hand, Claude Code has its own MCP configuration, separate from the desktop app's setup, and the Fireflies MCP server hub covers the developer picture across clients.

In Claude Cowork

With Fireflies connector in Cowork, you can have Claude run the same prompt on a set cadence, like a Monday digest of last week's customer calls. Those scheduled tasks run remotely, so a recurring digest fires on schedule even when your computer is asleep or the Claude Desktop app is closed. The one exception is a task that needs local files or apps on your machine, which only runs while your computer is awake and Desktop is open.

Team and Enterprise notes

On Team and Enterprise plans, one setting comes first. An Owner or Primary Owner has to enable Fireflies as a connector for the organization before anyone can add it.  Each user must use their own API key for now. Team-level or workspace-wide support is in development.If Fireflies isn't showing in your directory and you're on a team plan, that organization setting is the first thing to raise with your admin.

What can you do with Fireflies in Claude?

Once Fireflies is connected, you can ask Claude about any meeting you have access to, and it answers from your transcripts, summaries, and action items. The more useful part is what comes next. Because Claude already has the call, you can ask it to make something from that call in the same request, a recap, a proposal, a plan in whatever format you use, without going to find the notes first.

Four kinds of requests cover most of what teams use it for:

• Find where something was said, whether across one call or hundreds
• Pull the decisions, action items, and open questions out of any meeting
• Compare what came up across many meetings, like counting how often a feature was requested
• Draft the recap, the follow-up, or the next agenda from what was actually discussed

You'll get sharper answers by setting boundaries in the prompt. Fireflies supports filtering by topic, date, or speaker when you ask in plain language, so naming the account and the time window beats a vague request. Point a prompt at one specific call and tell Claude what to build from it.

One limit worth knowing before you start is that Claude can only reach meetings you're authorized to view in Fireflies, so asking about a colleague's calls returns nothing unless those meetings are shared with you.

Sales

Sales leans on the connector for two jobs mostly, prepping one specific call and finding patterns across a lot of them. Try prompts like these:

• Before my call with [Company], draft a one page prep brief from my Fireflies meetings with them, covering what they asked for, the objections they raised, where we left off, and the three questions I should lead with.
• Across my Fireflies calls from the last quarter, what objections come up most often, and how did the deals that closed handle them?
• Draft an email following up on my last Fireflies call with [Prospect], referencing the concerns they raised and the next steps we agreed on.

Marketing

Marketing gets the most out of it as a voice-of-customer engine, straight from the words buyers actually use. Consider these example prompts:

• Pull the exact phrases customers used to describe their problem in my Fireflies discovery calls this month, grouped by theme.
• From my last ten Fireflies customer calls, what pain points come up most often? I'm writing new landing page copy and want their language.

Product

For product, the value is turning scattered verbal feedback into something you can count. Use these example prompts for inspiration:

• Go through my Fireflies meetings from the past 60 days and list every feature request, how many times each one came up, and which customers asked for it.
• Which product complaints show up most across my recent Fireflies calls, and what did customers say the impact was on their work?

Customer Success

Customer Success leans on it for renewal prep and for catching risk before it turns into churn. Check out these sample prompts:

• Review my Fireflies meetings with [Account] over the last six months and flag any signs of churn risk, like frustration, quiet on renewal, or shrinking usage.
• Build a renewal brief for [Account] from my Fireflies meetings with them this year, covering open action items on my side, commitments I made, and anything they've asked for that we haven't delivered.

Fireflies in Claude with Claude Skills

Claude Skills, which Anthropic introduced on October 16, 2025, are reusable packages of instructions that Claude loads when it needs them. Instead of retyping a long prompt every week, you build the workflow once as a Skill and call it by name. Paired with the Fireflies connector, that turns a recurring meeting task into something you trigger in one line. A Skill for a weekly digest of customer calls, for instance, can spell out which meetings to pull, how to group what it finds, and how the summary should read, so every Monday's version comes out the same way.

Privacy and security

The connector respects the permissions you already have. Fireflies built it to adhere to existing permission controls, so through Claude you can only reach the meetings you're authorized to view in Fireflies. Connecting your account doesn't widen that access, and it won't surface a colleague's calls that you couldn't already open yourself.

Fireflies is also clear about model training. It has never trained its AI models on customer meeting data, and that commitment carries over to the connector. Your calls are not used to improve Fireflies' models.

Where it gets more nuanced is what happens once your data leaves Fireflies for Claude. Fireflies keeps a strict Zero-Day Retention policy for its own core services, but that policy stops at the connector's edge. In Fireflies' own words, "Fireflies maintains a strict Zero-Day Retention policy with all subprocessors used for core features (e.g., summaries, AskFred, transcription). However, when you connect Fireflies through third-party MCP connectors such as ChatGPT or Claude, data exchanged through those platforms is processed under their respective terms of service. Zero-Day Retention does not apply to any data processed, stored, or transmitted by external platforms via MCP." Once a transcript reaches Claude, Anthropic's terms of service govern how it's handled, so it's worth reading those if retention matters to your team.

Fireflies Claude connector vs other options

Since the connector only works when you ask it something, if you want work to happen after a call without you starting it, you'll want an automation tool like Zapier alongside it. Zapier can start a workflow the moment a new meeting is processed, or when an AI Skill produces an output, then pass what it finds along to the thousands of apps it connects to. Paired with Claude, that means a finished call can land somewhere useful on its own instead of waiting for you to open a chat and ask. It's a separate account and a separate cost, which is the tradeoff.

This is different from the automation Fireflies already gives you via AI Skills, and it’s separate from the Claude Connector. AI Skills are Fireflies' own automated workflows, and they can run after every meeting or on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, delivering summaries, reports, and insights straight to tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Notion, and Jira. And the relationship runs both ways: inside Fireflies, Global AskFred can run on Anthropic's Claude models too, so you can pick Claude as the brain behind your queries without ever leaving Fireflies.

That being said, deciding which to use comes down to timing and intent. Use the connector when you want to ask, analyze, and draft in Claude. Add Zapier when there's a workflow that should run after the call without you. And if everything you need happens inside Fireflies and your work apps, AI Skills is the simpler answer.

In addition to Claude, Fireflies connects to other AI tools too, including ChatGPT and Devin. The full picture across every client sits in the Fireflies MCP server hub.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fireflies have an official Claude connector?

Yes, Fireflies has an official Claude connector, listed in Anthropic's Claude Connectors Directory. Fireflies was the first AI meeting tool added to that directory, on August 21, 2025, and the connector is now out of beta. Because it's official, you connect directly with no middleware in between.

How do I connect Fireflies to Claude?

To connect Fireflies to Claude, open Claude's Settings, go to the Connectors tab, and click Browse Connectors. Find Fireflies in the directory, select it, click Connect, then authorize when Fireflies prompts you. On individual accounts the menu may read Customize instead of Settings. Setup takes about a minute.

Can Claude take meeting notes from Fireflies?

Claude can work with meeting notes from Fireflies, though it doesn't take them itself. Fireflies captures and summarizes the meeting, and the connector brings those transcripts, summaries, and action items into Claude. You can then ask Claude to pull decisions, draft a recap, or find a moment across many calls.

Does the Fireflies Claude connector work in Claude Desktop and Claude Code?

The Fireflies Claude connector works in Claude Desktop and Claude Code, along with Claude on the web and mobile. You set it up once through the Connectors Directory and it follows your account, so developers can pull meeting context into a Claude Code session the same way you would in chat.

Is the Fireflies Claude integration free?

The Fireflies Claude integration adds no separate fee. You need a Fireflies account and a paid Claude plan, which Fireflies lists as Pro, Team, or Enterprise. There's no middleware subscription in between, so beyond those two accounts the connector costs nothing extra.

Does Claude train on my Fireflies meeting data?

Fireflies never trains its models on your meeting data, and that holds for the connector. Once data reaches Claude, Anthropic's terms govern how it's handled and Fireflies' Zero-Day Retention no longer applies. If model training matters to your team, review Anthropic's terms and your Claude plan's data settings before connecting.

What can I ask Claude about my Fireflies meetings?

You can ask Claude anything your Fireflies meetings would answer. Common requests include finding where a topic came up, listing decisions and action items from a call, counting how often a feature was requested across meetings, and drafting recaps, follow-ups, or plans. It's strongest at comparisons spanning many meetings.

Does Fireflies Zero-Day Retention apply when I use Claude?

Fireflies' Zero-Day Retention does not apply when you use Claude. The policy covers only data processed within Fireflies' core services. When you connect through an external platform like Claude, that platform handles the data under its own terms, so Anthropic's retention terms take over for anything you send there.

What Claude plan do I need to use the Fireflies connector?

The Fireflies connector requires a paid Claude plan, which Fireflies lists as Pro, Team, or Enterprise. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable Fireflies for the organization before members can add it, and each member then authorizes their own connection individually.

How is the Fireflies Claude connector different from using Zapier with Claude?

The Fireflies Claude connector links Fireflies straight to Claude with one authorization and works when you prompt it. Zapier is an automation tool that starts workflows on its own when a meeting is processed. Use the connector to ask and analyze in Claude, and Zapier when work should run automatically.

Ready to put your meetings to work?

Your meetings already hold the answers. The connector just makes them easy to ask about. Set it up once and Claude can prep your next call, surface what a customer said last quarter, or draft the follow-up while you move on to the next thing.
