## Description

Create a clip (a Fireflies "bite") from a completed, already-transcribed meeting by specifying a start and end time in seconds. This is the action to use for past meetings — for a meeting that is still running, use **Create Live Meeting Soundbite** instead. To find the moment to clip, read the `sentences` array returned by **Find Meeting by ID**: each sentence carries its own `start_time` and `end_time` in seconds (e.g. `142.5`), so clipping around a quote means passing that sentence's start and end. Clip generation is asynchronous — this returns immediately with `status: pending` and no media, so `preview`, `thumbnail` and the playable URL are not available yet. Pass the returned `id` to **Find Clip by ID** and poll until `status` reaches a terminal `ready` or `error`. [See the documentation](https://docs.fireflies.ai/graphql-api/mutation/create-bite)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `meetingId` | `string` | Yes | The completed meeting to clip. A Fireflies meeting ID and transcript ID are the same value. Use Find Meeting by ID or Find Recent Meeting to look up a meeting ID. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `startTime` | `string` | Yes | Where the clip starts, in seconds from the beginning of the meeting, e.g. 142.5. Fractional seconds are allowed, using a dot as the decimal separator. Thousands separators are ignored, so 1,200 is read as 1200 seconds. Copy the start_time of a sentence returned by Find Meeting by ID to clip around a specific quote. |
| `endTime` | `string` | Yes | Where the clip ends, in seconds from the beginning of the meeting, e.g. 168.25. Uses a dot as the decimal separator and ignores thousands separators, the same as Start Time. Must be greater than Start Time. |
| `name` | `string` | No | A title for the clip, e.g. Pricing objection. Max 256 characters. |
| `mediaType` | `string` | No | Whether to produce a video or audio clip. A video clip is only possible if the meeting itself was recorded with video. |
| `privacies` | `string[]` | No | Who can view the clip. public is viewable by anyone with the link, team by your Fireflies team, and participants by the meeting's attendees. |
| `summary` | `string` | No | A short description of what the clip contains, e.g. Customer pushes back on the enterprise tier price. Max 500 characters. |

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({

  arguments: {
    meetingId: "Meeting ID",
    startTime: "Start Time",
  },
})
