# Granola > Granola MCP server integration with managed OAuth. Query meeting notes, list meetings, and access transcripts. Use this skill when users want to search meeting content, get meeting summaries, find action items, or retrieve transcripts from Granola. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key. - Skill: `johnalbertini14-glitch/granola` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 4 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add johnalbertini14-glitch/granola` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/johnalbertini14-glitch/granola/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner WARNING, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: johnalbertini14-glitch (https://skillmd.com/u/johnalbertini14-glitch) - Updated: 2026-09-08 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/johnalbertini14-glitch/granola --- # Granola Access Granola's MCP server with managed OAuth authentication. Query meeting notes, list meetings, search meeting content, and retrieve transcripts. ## Quick Start ```bash # Query your meeting notes python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'query': 'What action items came from my last meeting?'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/granola/query_granola_meetings', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Base URL ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/granola/{tool_name} ``` Replace `{tool_name}` with the MCP tool name. The gateway proxies requests to Granola's MCP server at `mcp.granola.ai` and automatically handles OAuth authentication. ## Authentication All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ``` **Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your Granola OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=granola&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Create Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'granola'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Get Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "8a413c45-6427-45d9-b69d-8118ce62ffce", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2026-02-24T11:34:46.204677Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-02-24T11:37:01.221812Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "granola", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Specifying Connection If you have multiple Granola connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'query': 'What were my action items?'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/granola/query_granola_meetings', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '8a413c45-6427-45d9-b69d-8118ce62ffce') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection. ## MCP Tools Reference Granola exposes four MCP tools. All tools are called via POST requests with JSON body parameters. ### query_granola_meetings Chat with your meeting notes using natural language queries. This is the primary tool for conversational interaction with your meeting data. **Endpoint:** ``` POST /granola/query_granola_meetings ``` **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `query` | string | Yes | Natural language query about your meetings | **Example:** ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'query': 'What action items came from my meetings this week?'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/granola/query_granola_meetings', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "You had 2 recent meetings:\n**Feb 4, 2026 at 7:30 PM** - \"Team sync\" [[0]](https://notes.granola.ai/d/abc123)\n- Action item: Review Q1 roadmap\n- Action item: Schedule follow-up with engineering\n**Jan 27, 2026 at 1:04 AM** - \"Finance integration\" [[1]](https://notes.granola.ai/d/def456)\n- Discussed workflow automation platforms\n- Action item: Evaluate n8n vs Zapier" } ], "isError": false } ``` **Use cases:** - "What action items were assigned to me?" - "Summarize my meetings from last week" - "What did we discuss about the product launch?" - "Find all mentions of budget in my meetings" --- ### list_meetings List your meetings with metadata including IDs, titles, dates, and attendees.

All tool calls are POST requests with JSON body parameters. - **Response Format**: All responses follow MCP format with `content` array containing `type: "text"` objects and an `isError` boolean. - **Access Control**: Users can only query their own meeting notes. Shared notes from others are not accessible. - **Free Tier Limits**: Basic (free) plan users are limited to notes from the last 30 days. - **Transcript Access**: The `get_meeting_transcript` tool is only available on paid Granola tiers. - **Rate Limits**: Approximately 100 requests per minute (varies by plan tier). ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Granola connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited | | MCP -32602 | Invalid tool parameters (check required fields) | **MCP Error Response:** ```json { "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "MCP error -32602: Input validation error: Invalid arguments for tool get_meetings: [\n {\n \"code\": \"invalid_type\",\n \"expected\": \"array\",\n \"received\": \"undefined\",\n \"path\": [\"meeting_ids\"],\n \"message\": \"Required\"\n }\n]" } ], "isError": true } ``` ## Resources - [Granola MCP Documentation](https://docs.granola.ai/help-center/sharing/integrations/mcp) - [Granola Help Center](https://docs.granola.ai) - [Maton Community](https://discord.com/invite/dBfFAcefs2) - [Maton Support](mailto:support@maton.ai)
