## Description

Retrieve a single meeting clip (a Fireflies "bite") by its ID, including its render status and media URLs. Use this to follow up on **Create Meeting Clip**, which returns immediately with `status: pending` and no media. Poll until `status` reaches a terminal `ready` or `error`, and stop on either — `pending` and `processing` mean the clip is still rendering. Once `ready`, the playable media is at `sources[].src`, with `preview` and `thumbnail` also populated; all three are `null` beforehand. Note that `summary_status` tracks the AI-generated summary separately and can finish while `status` is still `pending`, so poll `status` rather than `summary_status`. Use **List Clips** to look up a clip ID. [See the documentation](https://docs.fireflies.ai/graphql-api/query/bite)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `biteId` | `string` | Yes | The clip to retrieve, e.g. kwQIMbxsyi1. Returned as id by Create Meeting Clip, or use List Clips to browse existing clips. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "fireflies",
      },
    },
  },
)

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({
  name: "fireflies-find-clip-by-id",
  arguments: {
    biteId: "Clip ID",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "fireflies-find-clip-by-id",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    fireflies: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    biteId: "Clip ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
```
