Read Fathom meeting recordings, transcripts, summaries, action items and downloads, list teams and users, and manage webhooks via the Fathom External API.
Fathom ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 11 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.fathomFathom is an AI meeting notetaker that joins video calls and turns them into transcripts, summaries and action items, and this app reads that output into a workflow: list meetings and recordings, pull a recording’s summary or full transcript, request and download a recording, and see the teams and users behind them.
A typical use is picking up a meeting shortly after it ends — list recent meetings, then fetch the summary or transcript for the one that matters, or request a download when the audio or video itself is needed downstream. This app also creates and deletes webhook subscriptions so a workflow can be notified as new meeting content becomes available, rather than polling for it.
Fathom’s API is small and entirely covered here: nine reads plus the two webhook writes are the whole surface. There is no action to edit or delete a recording, mark an action item complete, or control the notetaker itself — those aren’t things the vendor’s API exposes, not gaps in this app.
Three routes to the same 11 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Fathom's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
meeting-get-many List meetings recorded by or shared with this account, optionally including transcripts, summaries, action items, highlights and CRM matches.
meeting-type-get-many List the org's meeting types (active and inactive) — the valid values for the meeting type filter.
recording-download-get Poll the status of a requested recording download and read its signed file URL.
recording-download-request Start generating a downloadable video or audio file for a recording, and get a download ID to poll.
team-member-get-many List team members, optionally filtered to one team by name.
user-get-many List account users with their settings and view permissions. Requires an account-admin API key.
webhook-create Register a URL to receive Fathom's new-meeting-content webhook, and get back its signing secret.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Fathom's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Fathom, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Fathom. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.fathom#recording-download-get",
"input": {
"recordingId": "<recordingId>",
"downloadId": "<downloadId>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Fathom connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Fathom's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Fathom itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Fathom declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
