# Granola MCP

Access Granola via MCP (Model Context Protocol) with managed authentication.

Quick Start

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 (e.g., `query_granola_meetings`). The gateway proxies requests to `mcp.granola.ai` and automatically injects your credentials.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

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 MCP connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=granola&method=MCP&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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'granola', 'method': 'MCP'}).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

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:**

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "8a413c45-6427-45d9-b69d-8118ce62ffce",
    "status": "PENDING",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-24T11:34:46.204677Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "granola",
    "method": "MCP",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

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, you must specify which MCP connection to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

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

IMPORTANT: If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection, which may fail if it's not an MCP connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/granola/query_granola_meetings', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: 'What were the action items from my last meeting?'
  })
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.content[0].text);

Python

import os
import requests

# Query meeting notes
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/granola/query_granola_meetings',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'query': 'What were the action items from my last meeting?'
    }
)
print(response.json())

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing Granola connection |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 429 | Rate limited (approx 100 req/min) |

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `granola`. For example:

Troubleshooting: MCP Parameter Errors

MCP tools return validation errors when required parameters are missing:

{
  "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
}
