Other AI tools
Other AI tools
You can manually connect to the Granola MCP by using the public URL
https://mcp.granola.ai/mcp as a custom connection.Your AI tool must support:- MCP client protocol using Streamable HTTP transport
- OAuth 2.0 authentication — the server uses browser-based OAuth, so your tool needs to be able to open a browser window for the user to sign in to Granola. After sign-in, the tool receives a bearer token to include in subsequent requests.
If you need programmatic access without per-user browser authentication (e.g. a service account for workspace-wide access), see our Enterprise API instead.

MCP tools not working
If you’re getting a message that your LLM agent can’t access your meeting notes or use the Granola MCP tools, try re-authenticating.General FAQ
Do I have to use the same email address for my AI tool and Granola?
No, you can use different accounts for your AI tool and Granola. You’ll authenticate the Granola account you want your AI tool to have access to.Why can’t I access a certain note?
You’ll only be able to query notes where you are the owner. Notes that are shared with you, or are in a shared folder that you have access to won’t be available to the MCP tools. If you’re on the Basic (free) plan, you’ll only be able to query notes from the last 30 days.I’ve just upgraded from Basic to Business/Enterprise, when will I get access to extra tools?
This should happen immediately, and you’ll have access to extra tools and upgraded rate limits on your next query.Can I connect Granola MCP to my own internal AI tool?
Yes — any tool that implements the MCP client specification with Streamable HTTP transport can connect to Granola MCP. Your tool will need to handle the OAuth 2.0 browser authentication flow so that each user can sign in to their Granola account. See the “Other AI tools” section above for technical details.
