Connect AI agents to Granola meeting notes to search past meetings, retrieve transcripts, find discussions and decisions, extract action items, and answer questions using your meeting history.
Hermes is Nous Research's command-line agent. MCP servers are declared in its YAML config and reloaded without a restart.
This guide connects Granola MCP to Hermes through MewCP, so Hermes can use Granola MCP's 6 tools, like query_granola_meetings, list_meetings and list_meeting_folders, without your Granola MCP credentials ever reaching the app.
Granola MCP signs in through managed OAuth. MewCP stores the token encrypted, refreshes it before it expires and injects it only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it.

Other clients
Granola MCP works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact Granola MCP tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
Edit config.yaml in your Hermes config directory (~/.hermes).
Put this under the top-level "mcp_servers:" key.
Run /reload-mcp in Hermes, or start a fresh session. Sign in when the browser window opens.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
Query Granola about the user's meetings using natural language. Returns a tailored response with inline citation links in mark (e.g. [[0]](url)) that reference source meeting notes. IMPORTANT: The response includes numbered citation links to specific Granola meeting notes. These citations MUST be preserved in your response to the user — they provide transparency and allow the user to verify information by clicking through to the original notes. When to use: - User asks about what was discussed, decided, or action-items from meetings - User asks about follow-ups, todos, or commitments from recent meetings - User references 'Granola notes' or 'meeting notes' When NOT to use: - User is asking about calendar scheduling or upcoming events - User explicitly asks for a specific meeting by ID (use get_meetings instead) Prioritize using query_granola_meetings over list_meetings/get_meetings for open-ended or natural language queries about meeting content.
List the user's Granola meeting notes within a time range. Returns meeting titles, metadata, and note URLs. IMPORTANT: For short-term questions about recent meeting details, prefer using query_granola_meetings instead. When to use: - User asks to list their meetings - User asks about action items, decisions, or summaries from meetings over a longer or specific date range - User asks about content from their meeting transcripts - User references 'Granola notes' or 'meeting notes' or 'transcripts' When NOT to use: - User is asking about upcoming calendar events or scheduling - User wants to create/modify calendar invites Use get_meetings to retrieve detailed meeting content after identifying relevant meetings. Use list_meeting_folders to discover folder IDs, then pass a folder_id to list meetings within a specific folder.
List the user's Granola meeting folders. Returns folder ID, title, description, and note count including nested folders. When to use: - User asks about their folders or wants to browse meetings by folder - User wants to narrow down meeting searches to a specific folder Use the returned folder IDs with list_meetings (folder_id parameter) to list meetings within a specific folder.
Get detailed meeting information for one or more Granola meetings by ID. Returns private notes, AI-generated summary, attendees, metadata, and note URLs. Use this when you already have specific meeting IDs (e.g. from list_meetings results). For open-ended questions about meeting content, use query_granola_meetings instead.
Get the full transcript for a specific Granola meeting by ID. Returns only the verbatim transcript content, not summaries or notes. Transcript blocks separate audio source (Microphone/System audio) from speaker identity. Participant attribution and user-confirmed names are preserved. Desktop diarization is omitted; mobile/imported transcripts can retain Speaker A/B/... labels for unnamed voices. Recording context identifies the document owner as the recorder for native recordings, not as the speaker. Missing recorder data stays unknown; the current viewer is not substituted. Channels and room labels may include multiple people. Older preformatted transcripts keep their original labels. Use this when the user needs exact quotes, specific wording, or wants to review what was literally said in a meeting. For summarized content or action items, use query_granola_meetings or list_meetings/get_meetings instead.
Get the email and active workspace for the Granola account currently connected to this MCP session. When to use: - User asks 'who am I signed in as?', 'which Granola account is this?', or 'what's my email?' - User suspects they connected the wrong Granola account - Before performing actions, to confirm identity if the user references a specific account
