How to Connect Claude to Granola for Meeting Notes (90-Second Setup, 2026)
Granola captures your meetings. Claude can act on them — but only if it can see them. Connect the two through MCP and Claude can pull any set of notes instantly, then summarize, extract action items, and draft the follow-up. It takes under two minutes to set up, no code.

Connect the rest of your stack
Meeting notes are most useful when they flow somewhere. Connect Granola alongside Gmail and Notion and one prompt takes you from “what did we decide” to “follow-up sent, tasks logged.” See how we build AI Chiefs of Staff, brick by brick at genaiu.com.
