Fireflies Usage
Pull meeting transcripts, summaries, and action items from Fireflies.ai to ground campaign work in what the client actually said.
No ColdIQ substitute: the ColdIQ marketplace does not resell Fireflies, so this skill is the one exception that stays on the provider directly. Connect Fireflies through its MCP server (below) rather than re-routing through
api.coldiq.com. There is no## ColdIQ Marketplace Endpointstable here on purpose.
Setup (MCP)
Add the Fireflies MCP server to your Claude config, then use its tools — no raw HTTP needed:
{ "fireflies": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "fireflies-mcp-server"],
"env": { "FIREFLIES_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } }
Available MCP tools: fireflies_search, fireflies_get_transcripts, fireflies_get_transcript,
fireflies_get_summary, fireflies_get_user_contacts.
Direct API alternative (if you can't use MCP): Fireflies exposes a GraphQL endpoint at
https://api.fireflies.ai/graphqlwithAuthorization: Bearer <key>. Prefer the MCP server.
How to use
- Find meetings by client name, participant email, date, or keyword →
fireflies_search. - Get a summary (action items, key points, overview) →
fireflies_get_summary. - Get the full transcript (word-by-word with timestamps) →
fireflies_get_transcript. - Extract action items assigned to the ColdIQ team from the summary.
Use cases for GTMEs
- Before writing copy: pull the kickoff call to extract the client's ICP language, pains, and customer stories (feeds crawford-method).
- Before a QBR: summarize the last N calls for the client.
- Track commitments: extract action items and who owns them.
Gotchas
- Transcripts can be large — request the summary first, the full transcript only when needed.
- Search by participant email is more reliable than by name.
- Recent meetings may take a few minutes to finish processing after the call ends.
