Blink Granola

Blink Granola

Granola is the user's AI meeting-notes app. The provider key is composio_granola. Granola exposes data over an MCP (JSON-RPC) server, but the Blink executor wraps that for you — call it like any other connector.

One-time signup gate (read this first!)

OAuth-connecting Granola in Blink only authenticates the user with Granola's identity service. Granola's MCP product gates on a second signup at https://granola.ai/mcp-signup. Until that's done, every tool call comes back as a 403 with the message:

Unauthorized: user has not created a Granola account yet.
Sign up at https://granola.ai/mcp-signup and then try again.

If you see that, surface the signup link to the user and stop — there is nothing to fix on Blink's side.

The 4 tools

Tool name goes in the URL slot. The body is the tool's arguments. HTTP method is always POST.

list_meetings — find meetings in a window

# Fixed windows
blink connector exec composio_granola list_meetings POST '{"time_range":"this_week"}'
blink connector exec composio_granola list_meetings POST '{"time_range":"last_week"}'
blink connector exec composio_granola list_meetings POST '{"time_range":"last_30_days"}'

# Custom window (ISO dates, both required when time_range is custom)
blink connector exec composio_granola list_meetings POST '{"time_range":"custom","custom_start":"2026-04-01","custom_end":"2026-04-30"}'

Returns titles + meeting IDs. Use the IDs with get_meetings / get_meeting_transcript.

query_granola_meetings — natural-language Q&A (preferred for open-ended questions)

blink connector exec composio_granola query_granola_meetings POST '{"query":"What follow-ups did we agree on with Acme last week?"}'

# Optionally pin the query to specific meetings (substitute real IDs from list_meetings)
blink connector exec composio_granola query_granola_meetings POST '{"query":"Action items?","document_ids":["<MEETING_UUID_A>","<MEETING_UUID_B>"]}'

Returns text with numbered citation links like [[0]](url). Preserve those citations verbatim in your reply to the user — they're how the user verifies the answer.

get_meetings — full notes for known meeting IDs

# Up to 10 meeting IDs per call. Returns private notes, AI summary, attendees, metadata.
# Substitute real UUIDs you got from list_meetings — never pass placeholder strings literally.
blink connector exec composio_granola get_meetings POST '{"meeting_ids":["<MEETING_UUID_A>","<MEETING_UUID_B>"]}'

get_meeting_transcript — verbatim transcript for one meeting

blink connector exec composio_granola get_meeting_transcript POST '{"meeting_id":"<MEETING_UUID>"}'

Use this only when the user needs exact wording / quotes — for summaries or action items, query_granola_meetings is faster and cheaper.

Paid-tier gate. Transcripts require a paid Granola subscription. Free-tier users get back a 402 with the message Transcripts are only available to paid Granola tiers (Upgrade at https://granola.ai/settings, then retry.). When you see that, surface the upgrade link and fall back to query_granola_meetings or get_meetings — both work on free tier and answer most quote-style questions well enough.

Picking the right tool

If you don't have a meeting ID and the question is open-ended, prefer query_granola_meetings over list_meetings → get_meetings — it's one call and Granola's server-side ranker is better tuned than your own.

Common use cases

• "Summarize my last week of meetings" → query_granola_meetings with query: "Summarize key topics, decisions, and follow-ups from the last week".
• "What was the action item for me from the design review?" → query_granola_meetings with query: "What action items were assigned to me in the design review?".
• "Show me every meeting I had with Customer X" → query_granola_meetings with query: "List all meetings I've had with Customer X and their core topics".

Errors

• 403 with "has not created a Granola account yet" → user needs to complete https://granola.ai/mcp-signup. Show the link, stop.
• 402 with "Transcripts are only available to paid Granola tiers" → free-tier user hit get_meeting_transcript. Show the upgrade link (https://granola.ai/settings) and retry the same question with query_granola_meetings (works on free tier).
• blink connector tool-execute composio_granola GRANOLA_MCP_* returns "Unable to retrieve tool with slug" → this path isn't supported (Composio's static catalog trips on Granola's MCP-dynamic schema). Always use blink connector exec with the lowercase tool name as shown above.
