Granola MCP server & Claude connector

Does Granola have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Official

As of October 2026, Granola operates an official remote MCP server at mcp.granola.ai/mcp, documented on docs.granola.ai and listed in Anthropic's connector directory as Anthropic verified. It signs in with browser OAuth; there is no API-key option. It reads meeting notes and transcripts, and plan limits apply: free accounts see only 30 days of notes.

    Tool-description injection scan

    Closed-source hosted server; only the docs tool table was read, not tool description text. Meeting transcripts are untrusted content that could carry injected text.

FAQ

Does Granola have an official MCP server?

Yes. Granola documents it at docs.granola.ai and hosts it at https://mcp.granola.ai/mcp.

Is Granola a Claude connector?

Yes. It is listed in Anthropic's connector directory as Anthropic verified.

Do I need a paid plan?

Granola's docs say MCP works on all plans, but free accounts only see the last 30 days of notes, and transcripts and folders are paid-only. Other Granola pages may state differently, so check your plan.

Can I use an API key?

No. Docs say there is no API key or service-account access for MCP; use OAuth, or Granola's separate API for key access.

Is it read-only?

Mostly. Tools read notes and transcripts, but switch_workspace changes the active workspace and sign_out signs the client out.
