Connect your AI tools to your Granola meeting notes with Granola MCP. Once connected you can use this to: search through your meeting notes, find specific topics discussed in past meetings, browse meeting folders, extract action items or decisions from your notes, answer questions based on your meeting history and more. We currently only support authentication through browser OAuth. For other forms of authentication, please send feedback to hey@granola.so.

​
What MCP can access

Granola MCP connects as an individual user through browser OAuth. It returns notes from the user’s active Granola workspace, subject to the access scopes below. Your plan and workspace settings determine which scopes MCP uses:
MCP follows the active workspace selected in the Granola app. If you belong to more than one workspace, switch workspaces in Granola before asking your AI tool another question.

Set-up guide

​
Pre-requisites

  • A Granola account with existing meeting notes
  • AI tool that supports MCP, such as Claude and ChatGPT

​
How to connect

  1. Open and sign in to Claude
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Go to Connectors, search for Granola
  4. Connect, authenticate and make sure you’re toggled on when chatting
  1. Open and sign in to ChatGPT
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Search for ‘Granola’ and connect
  4. You can now @Granola or just ask to reference your meetings in ChatGPT
  1. Run claude in your terminal
  2. Run this command:
  1. Open a new terminal tab and run claude again
  2. Run /mcp, select the granola MCP, and select ‘Authenticate’
  3. Ask Claude to reference your meetings
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.
Each user authenticates individually through the browser OAuth flow. There is no API key or service account access method for MCP.
If you need API key access for scripts, automations, or custom integrations, see our Granola API instead.

Troubleshooting guide

Rate limits will vary depending on your Granola subscription plan and the MCP tool that you’re using. Rate limits currently average around 100 requests per minute across all tools. Rate limits are subject to change.
If you’re on the Basic (Free) plan, you can only query notes in the last 30 days.
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.
If Granola is connected in Claude but shows No tools available, reconnect the Granola connector in Claude to reset the connection:
  1. Go to Claude connector settings on the web. You must do this on claude.ai even if you use the Claude desktop app.
  2. Select Granola.
  3. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right.
  4. Choose Disconnect.
  5. Without refreshing the page or navigating away, choose Connect again and complete authentication.
If you’re on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, you may need a workspace admin to disconnect and reconnect Granola for you.
If you see this error after completing the OAuth sign-in flow, you may have authenticated with a different email address than the one your Granola account is registered under.To check which email your Granola account uses, open the Granola app and go to Settings (⌘ + , on macOS, Ctrl + , on Windows). Your account email is shown under your profile picture in the top left.When reconnecting MCP, make sure you sign in with that same email address during the OAuth flow.
If your AI tool says it can’t find any notes, or returns no results when you know you have meetings, MCP may be connected to the wrong Granola account or the wrong workspace within the right account.Ask your AI tool: “Which Granola account am I signed in with?” It will use the get_account_info tool to return the email and active workspace currently connected to MCP. Then:
  • Right email, wrong workspace: switch workspace in the Granola desktop app (click your workspace name in the top left and pick the right one). MCP follows your active workspace, so the next query will use it.
  • Wrong email entirely: follow the steps in the Signed into Claude with the wrong account accordion below (or the equivalent for your AI tool) to disconnect and reconnect with the correct account.
Here’s how to reconnect Claude MCP with a different Granola account:
  1. Open an incognito/private browsing window and sign in to claude.ai.
  2. Go to Settings -> Connectors and disconnect Granola.
  3. Still in incognito, reconnect Granola. This will prompt you to sign in again, so use your main Granola account email.
  4. Once connected, switch back to your normal browser and it should be working with the right account.
The reason a normal disconnect/reconnect doesn’t fix this is that your existing Granola session stays active, so it skips the login step. Incognito forces a fresh login, which lets you pick the right account.

General FAQ

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. To verify which email your Granola account uses, open the Granola app and go to Settings (⌘ + , on macOS, Ctrl + , on Windows) — your account email is shown under your profile picture in the top left.
First, check which access scopes apply to you:
  • Basic (Free): Personal notes from the last 30 days.
  • Business: Personal notes and public notes.
  • Enterprise: Workspace admins configure which scopes are available to members.
Personal notes access does not include every private note in the workspace. The note must be yours, shared directly with you, or in a private folder shared with you. Public notes access includes notes visible to everyone in the workspace, including notes in the Team space.Also confirm that MCP is connected to the right account and active workspace by asking your AI tool: “Which Granola account am I signed in with?”
This should happen immediately, and you’ll have access to extra tools and upgraded rate limits on your next query.
No. Granola MCP uses browser-based OAuth with Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), which means credentials are handled automatically. You don’t need to generate or enter any client ID or client secret.If you’re using a third-party platform (like Composio) that shows client ID and client secret fields, leave them blank — the platform will register with Granola automatically when you connect.
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.If you’re building a custom integration and need help, reach out to hey@granola.so.

Enterprise FAQ

Yes. Enterprise admins can configure the note access available to workspace members:
  1. Go to Settings → Workspace → General.
  2. Find MCP access for members under Apps & connectors.
  3. Click Manage.
  4. Enable Personal notes, Public notes, both, or neither.
Access depends on the workspace’s current MCP configuration. If neither scope is enabled, members have no MCP access until an admin enables personal notes, public notes, or both.
The controls are under Settings → Workspace → General → Apps & connectors → MCP access for members. All Enterprise workspace members can see the setting, but only admins can change it. If you need another scope enabled, ask your workspace admin.
No. The controls determine what non-admin workspace members can access through MCP. Enterprise admins can access both personal notes and public notes through MCP.
