Fellow's MCP server allows you to connect your AI meeting notes, action items, transcripts, calendar events and more, to your favourite AI assistants.

The MCP server is a connector that enables your AI assistants, like Claude or ChatGPT, to securely access and retrieve information from your Fellow workspace—so you can ask questions about your meetings and get answers instantly, without switching between apps.

The MCP Server only gives users access to the data they already have access to within Fellow.

Benefits of the MCP Server

  • Ask anything about your meetings - Get answers to questions like "What were my action items this week?" or "What did we decide in last month's standup?"

  • All your context in one place - Reference meeting context within your AI assistant of choice, alongside your other Connectors and memories

  • Portable across AI Assistants - Fellow’s MCP Connector works with any AI tool that supports connectors, so you're never locked into one platform

  • Secure access - Only accesses data you already have permission to view in Fellow
