Fathom is an AI meeting recorder that transcribes and summarizes video calls.
Agen.co connects to Fathom through Fathom's own hosted MCP server as an Official connector. Each user authorizes with their own Fathom account, and agents can only reach the meetings that user already has permission to view in Fathom.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
- A Fathom account. No app needs to be registered with Fathom — the MCP server registers Agen.co as a client automatically, so there is no Client ID or Client Secret to copy.
- If your Fathom account belongs to a team or organization, an owner may need to enable the MCP connector before it becomes available to members.
In the Agen.co portal, go to Connectors → My connectors and click Add connector.
In the Select connector drawer, search for
Fathomand select it. The Add Fathom panel opens.Fill in the field:
Field Required Description Instance Slug Yes Prefixes each imported tool as slug__tool, so several instances of the connector can coexist. Prefilled withfathom. Use lowercase kebab-case. You can change it later from the connector's settings.Click Connect. Fathom opens in a new tab, and the panel shows Waiting for authorization — complete it in the opened tab…
Sign in to Fathom if prompted, then approve the requested access on Fathom's consent screen.
Back in Agen.co, the panel switches to Select the tools to import from Fathom. Every tool is toggled on; turn off any you don't want to import, then click Add.
The connector is created and its tools imported only when you click Add. If you close the panel before that, nothing is saved, even though the Fathom tab reported success.
Adding the connector doesn't authorize anyone's tool calls yet. The first time each user's agent calls a Fathom tool, the call returns an authorization link instead of a result. The user opens the link, signs in to Fathom, and approves access. After that, the user's tool calls run with their own Fathom account, reaching only the meetings that account can already view — connecting the MCP doesn't grant access to any meeting the user couldn't already see in Fathom.
Once connected, Fathom appears under My connectors with tools for:
- Asking natural-language questions about the user's meetings
- Reading meeting transcripts
- Reading AI-generated meeting summaries, including topics, takeaways, and next steps
- Listing and searching meetings
Enabling the Fathom connector isn't enough on its own. Tool calls remain denied until you create a policy that grants access to the specific tools you want to expose.
