Fathom MCP: Connect Claude & ChatGPT

Edited

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you connect Fathom to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT, so you can ask questions about your meetings and create work products (emails, plans, briefs, etc.) without having to copy/paste meeting content.

What you can do with the MCP integration

  • Ask Claude/ChatGPT questions about your meetings.

  • Draft follow-ups, QBR narratives, action plans, and other deliverables using meeting context.

  • Combine Fathom meeting context with other context you already use in Claude/ChatGPT (docs, notes, plans, etc.)

What data can Claude/ChatGPT access?

  • The integration can only access meetings you already have permission to view in Fathom.

  • MCP doesn't provide access to new categories of data - it mainly makes it easier for Claude/ChatGPT to retrieve the meeting context you need.

Setting Up the Integration

ChatGPT

  1. Go to the Fathom app for ChatGPT

  2. Click Connect and complete the authorization prompts

  3. That's it! Just type @Fathom to query your meetings

Claude

  1. Go to the Fathom connector for Claude (if you’re using Claude in a team or organization, an owner must first enable the connector before it will appear for members).

  2. Click Connect and complete the authorization prompts.

  3. That’s it! You can now ask Claude about your meetings.

When should you use MCP vs Account-Wide Ask Fathom?

Use Account-Wide Ask Fathom when:

  • You want a guided “answer across meetings” experience inside Fathom.

  • You don’t need to create the output elsewhere.

Use the MCP integration when:

  • You want meeting context available inside Claude/ChatGPT.

  • You want to create deliverables outside Fathom or combine meeting context with other sources.

Example Prompts

  • Draft a follow-up email for the client based on my last meeting with Acme Corp.

  • Compare what customers are asking for in my sales meetings with our current product roadmap doc.

  • Every Friday, summarize the top customer objections from this week’s sales meetings and draft a short brief for the team.

  • Find mentions of competitor X across my recent customer calls and summarize patterns.

Troubleshooting

Is the Fathom MCP appearing as connected, but not being pulled into your new chats? Here are some steps to try:

  1. Tools panel in the specific conversation. "Connected" in their account settings isn't the same as enabled in a given chat. Open the Tools panel in the conversation and confirm Fathom is toggled on.

  2. Start a fresh chat. Conversations enumerate MCP tools once at session start and don't hot-reload. If they connected Fathom mid-session, that chat will keep showing the connector as connected but tool_search will stay empty until you open a new conversation.

  3. Per-tool toggles. Inside the Fathom connector settings, each of the 7 tools has its own on/off. It's possible the connector is enabled but individual tools were disabled. Expand Fathom and confirm each tool is on.
