Granola MCP connector
The Granola connector brings your Granola meeting notes and folders to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent through one governed endpoint, so anyone on your team can ask what was said in a meeting and get an answer from the notes themselves.

-
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.
-
Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Granola to Claude?
Connecting Granola to Claude takes two steps. First, open Elaichi, choose Granola, and paste in your Granola API key; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on it can read your Granola notes and folders as you.
Does Granola work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Granola is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, the Elaichi Agent and any other MCP client. You connect Granola once and every client your team uses picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Granola data?
With Granola connected, an AI agent can list your meeting notes, open any single note in full, and see how your notes are organized into folders, so you can ask things like what was decided in Tuesday's customer call or what a particular account has asked for across all of its meetings. It can also set up, change or remove Granola webhook endpoints, which tell another system when a new note arrives. It cannot write or edit the notes themselves.
Does connecting Granola give the AI every note in my workspace?
No. The AI only sees the Granola notes and folders that the connected Granola account can already see, because every request runs through the access of the person who connected it. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading notes only, but it can never widen access beyond what Granola itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Granola?
Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict a Granola connection action by action, for example allowing notes and folders to be read while blocking the creation, updating or deletion of Granola webhook endpoints. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Granola connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Granola through every connected client ends at once. If they had shared a Granola connection with a team, that connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. And if you ever want to remove Granola entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
