Tools

granola.query_granola_meetings  query=<string> [document_ids=<uuid[]>]
granola.list_meetings           [time_range=this_week|last_week|last_30_days|custom] [custom_start=<ISO>] [custom_end=<ISO>]
granola.get_meetings            meeting_ids=<uuid[]>  (max 10)
granola.get_meeting_transcript  meeting_id=<uuid>

Usage Pattern

1. For open-ended questions ("what did we discuss about X?"), use query_granola_meetings
2. For listing meetings in a range, use list_meetings
3. For full details on specific meetings, use get_meetings with IDs from list results
4. For exact quotes or verbatim content, use get_meeting_transcript

Prefer query_granola_meetings over list+get for natural language questions. Responses include citation links (e.g. [[0]](url)). Preserve these in replies so the user can click through to original notes.

Setup

1. Complete the Granola OAuth flow at https://mcp-auth.granola.ai/oauth2/authorize
2. Save credentials to config/granola_oauth.json with keys: client_id, refresh_token, access_token, token_endpoint
3. Configure config/mcporter.json with the Granola MCP server entry and Authorization: Bearer <token> header
4. (Optional) Set up a cron job to run scripts/refresh_token.sh periodically, since OAuth tokens expire every ~6 hours

Auth & Token Refresh

If a call fails with 401/auth error:

bash {baseDir}/scripts/refresh_token.sh

The script reads config/granola_oauth.json, posts to the token endpoint (https://mcp-auth.granola.ai/oauth2/token), and updates both config/granola_oauth.json and config/mcporter.json with the new access token.

Then retry the call. If refresh also fails, the user needs to re-authenticate manually via the OAuth flow above.
