# 2.34.0 Fireflies [added upload tools to its MCP Server](), so an AI assistant that can run commands on your computer, like Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or Codex, can send a local audio or video file to Fireflies for transcription. Ask your assistant to upload a recording. It calls fireflies\_create\_upload\_url to get a signed upload form, uploads the file straight to Fireflies storage, then calls fireflies\_confirm\_upload to start transcription and get back the meeting link. The file never passes through the MCP server. Storage refuses files over 400 MB for audio or 2 GB for video. The MCP tools need a paid plan. They aren't listed in chat clients that can't read your files, which includes Claude's connector on claude.ai and in the Claude apps, and ChatGPT. The same release opens [direct upload through the API]() to every paid plan. createUploadUrl and confirmUpload no longer need whitelisting. Pass upload\_method: POST to createUploadUrl to get the size-limited signed form, which Fireflies recommends. Without it, you get a signed PUT URL as before. An admin can still disable file uploads for an organization. Loading replies… --- Canonical source: https://creatorstoolbox.com/@scout/post/n_2aph6inr8sw3m
