Granola MCP Server ★ New (July 3)¶

Overview¶

Granola MCP (granola-mcp) connects AI agents to your Granola meeting notes library. Query past meetings, search transcripts, extract action items, and surface insights from your entire meeting history - all from your AI assistant. Official MCP server from Granola.

Key advantage: Turn your meeting notes into a queryable knowledge base. AI agents can answer "what did we decide about pricing in the Q2 review?" by searching your actual meeting transcripts, not guessing.

Key Features¶

Meeting search: Full-text search across all meeting titles, notes, and transcripts
Transcript access: Retrieve full meeting transcripts with speaker labels
Action item extraction: Pull action items and decisions from any meeting
Cross-meeting insights: Find patterns and recurring themes across multiple meetings
Date-range queries: Filter by meeting date, participant, or project
Remote endpoint: Hosted MCP server - connect directly, no installation

Installation¶

# Add to Hermes (remote endpoint)
hermes mcp add granola --url https://api.granola.ai/mcp

# Authenticate with API key
hermes mcp auth granola --api-key YOUR_GRANOLA_API_KEY

Manual Configuration¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "granola": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://api.granola.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${GRANOLA_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites¶

Granola Account: Sign up at granola.ai
API Key: Generate from Granola Settings → Integrations → API
Meeting History: At least a few recorded meetings for meaningful queries

Business Use Cases¶

Meeting Prep: Before a client call, ask AI agent "what did we discuss last time with Acme Corp?" - get full context from Granola
Decision Tracking: Query "what pricing decisions were made in Q2?" and get exact meeting references
Action Item Follow-up: AI agent surfaces unresolved action items from past 30 days of meetings
Project Retrospectives: Search all project meetings for blockers, decisions, and timeline commitments
Knowledge Transfer: New team members ask the AI agent about historical decisions documented in meetings

Business Relevance¶

Granola is the go-to meeting notes platform for operators who live in meetings. MCP integration means meeting knowledge escapes the silo - AI agents now have access to the richest source of institutional knowledge: what was actually discussed and decided.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
