Granola runs its own MCP server, and it is the one to use. You connect it in Claude, ChatGPT or Claude Code and sign in with your Granola account, with nothing to install. The community servers read the meeting data Granola keeps in a cache file on your computer instead of using your account. On the free Basic plan the official server reaches only the last 30 days of notes.
Good for
- People who want to ask Claude or ChatGPT what was decided in past meetings
- Managers pulling action items across a project's meetings
- Developers who want meeting notes inside Claude Code
- Privacy-minded users who want meeting data to stay on their own machine
Which Granola MCP server to use
Use the official Granola server. Pick proofsh/granola-mcp-server only if you want Claude Desktop to read your meetings from files on your own computer.
