Fireflies Toolkit
Arcade toolkit for interacting with Fireflies, enabling programmatic access to meeting recordings, transcripts, AI-generated notes, analytics, and team collaboration features.
Capabilities
- Meeting discovery & access control — search meetings by title, participants, date, or spoken content; list organizing channels; share or revoke teammate access to recordings.
- Transcripts & AI notes — retrieve verbatim transcripts with speaker attribution and time windowing; pull AI-generated summaries, action items, keywords, and outlines without reading raw lines.
- Analytics — per-speaker talk-time, speaking pace, and sentiment for individual meetings; aggregate team-level conversation metrics across date ranges up to 30 days.
- Live capture & upload — dispatch the Fireflies notetaker bot into a live meeting or queue an existing audio/video file for async transcription.
- Soundbites — clip time-range segments from recordings, retrieve individual clips, and list soundbites scoped by owner, team, or meeting.
- Contacts, identity & Q&A — list people met with; resolve the caller's own identity and usage; ask AskFred questions about a specific meeting with threaded follow-up support.
Secrets
FIREFLIES_API_KEY — A personal API key issued by Fireflies. To obtain one, log in to your Fireflies account, navigate to Integrations → API Key (or visit app.fireflies.ai/login then go to your profile settings), and generate or copy your API key. No special account tier is documented as required, but access to analytics and AI features depends on your Fireflies subscription plan. Treat this key as a credential — it authenticates all requests on behalf of your Fireflies user account.

Operations
Behavior
| Tool name | Description | Secrets | |
|---|---|---|---|
Send the Fireflies notetaker into a live meeting to capture it.
The bot can take up to a minute to join after a successful dispatch. | 1 | ||
Aggregate team conversation metrics and a per-speaker breakdown over a date range.
Use this to spot team-level trends across meetings in a window no wider than 30 days.
Aggregates are rolled up from each meeting's own analytics, so the sentiment and
talk-time reflect every call in the window (not just the calls of mapped team users).
The most recent 50 meetings in the range are aggregated; when more fall in the range the
result's ``truncated`` flag is set so partial aggregates are not read as complete. | 1 | ||
Ask AskFred a question about a meeting and get its answer and suggested follow-ups.
AskFred saves each question and its answer to the user's AskFred threads in Fireflies.
Prefer this over reading the full transcript when the user has a specific question.
Pass the returned thread id back as thread_id to continue the same conversation. | 1 | ||
Clip a soundbite from a time range within a recorded meeting.
The new clip processes asynchronously; the result reports its initial processing
state. Use the soundbite read tools to retrieve it once ready. | 1 | ||
Get per-speaker talk-time and pace plus the sentiment breakdown for one meeting.
Use this to gauge how a call went -- who dominated, speaking pace, and overall
sentiment. Analytics may be sparse or empty for very short calls. | 1 | ||
Get Fireflies' AI-generated notes for a meeting: overview, action items, keywords, outline.
Use this single call to answer "what were the takeaways / action items from this
call?"; it is far cheaper and more reliable than reading the verbatim transcript. | 1 | ||
Get the verbatim spoken lines of a meeting, in chronological order with speaker attribution.
Fireflies serves a meeting's lines only as a whole, so each call retrieves the full
transcript; limit, offset, and the from_time/to_time window then bound what is returned
to keep the response small (they do not reduce what is fetched upstream). Transcripts can
run to thousands of lines, so request a narrow window. To quote a moment found via the AI
question or notes tools (which report timestamps in seconds), pass from_time and/or to_time;
offset and limit then apply within that window. For takeaways or action items, prefer the AI
meeting-notes tool over reading raw lines. | 1 | ||
Get a single soundbite by id.
Returns a graceful not-found result instead of raising for an unknown or
inaccessible id, so lookups compose like the list/search tools. | 1 | ||
Gather follow-ups from recent meetings into one flat list to answer "what do I owe?".
Each meeting's AI action-items notes are flattened into individual, owner-attributed
items so the caller's outstanding follow-ups across many calls surface in one request
rather than by opening each meeting. Prefer this over reading each call's notes
separately when triaging open commitments; set assigned_to_me to narrow to the caller's
own follow-ups, or assignee_email to narrow to a specific teammate's. | 1 | ||
List the channels meetings are filed into.
A channel's id can be passed to a meeting search to narrow results to that channel, so
this is the lookup behind that filter as well as a view of how the account organizes
its calls. | 1 | ||
List the people the caller has met with, most recent first. | 1 | ||
List soundbites, optionally scoped to your own, your team's, or a single meeting's. | 1 | ||
Remove a previously granted teammate's access to a meeting.
You can only manage sharing on a meeting you own or manage. Revoking an email that
does not currently have access is not a silent no-op: Fireflies may return a
``failed`` status, so treat a failed result as "no change was made" rather than a hard
error. | 1 | ||
Find a recorded meeting by its title, the people on it, when it happened, or its topic.
Use this single call to locate a past call; results are newest first. By default the
keyword matches the meeting title only; switch match to content to find a call by its
spoken topics -- that scans each recent meeting's AI notes (gist, summary, keywords,
topics, action items) and keeps the ones whose notes or title contain the keyword.
Each result carries a one-line AI gist for triage; set include_notes to also pull each
call's short summary and action items in the same request (the standup-prep digest). | 1 | ||
Grant one or more teammates access to a meeting's notes and recording.
You can only share a meeting you own or manage. Re-sharing an email that already has
access is not a silent no-op: Fireflies may return a ``failed`` status, so treat a
failed result as "no change was made" rather than relying on this call to idempotently
ensure access. | 1 | ||
Queue an already-recorded audio or video file for Fireflies transcription.
Use this for a recording that exists elsewhere; use the live-notetaker tool to
capture a meeting happening now. Transcription runs asynchronously after queuing. | 1 | ||
Get the caller's own Fireflies identity and usage summary. | 1 |
