The Fireflies + Claude Meeting Brain (MCP Setup)

The Fireflies + Claude Meeting Brain (MCP Setup)
Section 01 — Why this matters

Coaches' meetings, staff briefings, player 1:1s — the volume of conversation in a coaching environment is enormous, and almost none of it gets re-listened to. Fireflies records and transcribes them. Claude, connected to Fireflies via MCP, lets you query everything in plain English: 'What did we say about [player] in the last three meetings?' Tier: Claude Pro ($20/mo) + Fireflies Free or Pro.

Section 02 — What this actually upgrades

A memory tool, not a notes tool. The distinction matters.

Layer · Memory

This upgrades the Memory layer at scale. Individual transcripts are useful but unsearchable in practice — nobody scrolls through 90 minutes of dialogue. The Fireflies MCP connector exposes your meeting library to Claude as a structured, queryable knowledge base.

Cognitive load removed

It removes the 'I know we discussed this somewhere' load. Decisions, action items, tactical themes — all retrievable in seconds instead of being lost to the audio file nobody opens.

Workflow slot

Set up the MCP connection once. After that, every meeting Fireflies records is automatically queryable. Use it weekly when prepping for the next coaches' meeting (review last week's actions) and monthly when pattern-spotting (what themes keep coming up?).

Section 03 — This week's upgrade

Three steps. Twelve minutes total.

  1. Step 01
    Install
    In claude.ai → Settings → Connectors. Search for Fireflies in the directory. Click Connect → OAuth into your Fireflies account. The connection takes 30 seconds. (Note: requires Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise — Free plan can install OAuth connectors but not Fireflies specifically.)
  2. Step 02
    Use once
    Make sure Fireflies is recording your meetings. Connect Fireflies to your Google Calendar (or Outlook) so it auto-joins Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls. For in-person meetings, use the Fireflies mobile app to record on your phone. Let it run for one week to build a baseline of transcripts.
  3. Step 03
    Store
    Open a chat in your Season Project. Ask: 'Using Fireflies, find every mention of [player name] in my meetings over the last 30 days. Summarise what was said about them, whether the tone was positive or concerning, and any action items that came out of those discussions.' Claude pulls directly from Fireflies and answers with citations.
Section 04 — The prompts

3 prompts, one unlocked.

Player Mention Pattern (weekly)Claude Pro (Sonnet or Opus)
Using Fireflies, find every meeting from the last [7 / 14 / 30] days where [PLAYER NAME] was mentioned. For each mention:
- The date of the meeting and who was speaking
- A direct quote of what was said about them
- Whether the tone was positive, neutral, or concerning
- Any action item that came out of it that I haven't actioned yet

Then give me one paragraph summarising what the pattern of conversation about this player tells me.

Section 05 — How each role uses it

Same tool. 3 different jobs.

Head Coach
uses it weekly to prep for staff meetings — 'what didn't we close last week?' — and monthly to spot conversational ruts.
Performance Ops
uses it as the source of truth for action items and decisions made in any meeting.
Performance Analyst
uses it to retrieve tactical discussions from the coaches' meetings that didn't make it into the formal plan.
Section 06 — Who shouldn't use this
⚠ Skip this if
If your coaching environment doesn't currently record meetings (and you don't want to), this workflow doesn't apply. Don't start recording meetings just to enable this — it should follow an existing recording habit, not create one.
