# How to integrate Granola MCP with Atomic Agent ```json { "title": "How to integrate Granola MCP with Atomic Agent", "toolkit": "Granola", "toolkit_slug": "granola_mcp", "framework": "Atomic Agent", "framework_slug": "atomic-agent", "url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/atomic-agent", "markdown_url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/atomic-agent.md", "updated_at": "2026-09-16T08:04:44.129Z" } ``` ## Introduction Atomic Agent is an open-source AI agent that runs on your machine and supports local models through llama.cpp. Connect it to 1,500+ apps through Composio, including Granola. This guide uses Atomic Agent's built-in Composio integration. You need Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later, your own Composio API key, and a Granola account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate Granola with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/chatgpt) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Grok Bot](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/grok-bot) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/cursor) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granola_mcp/framework/hermes-agent) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to Granola Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication. Execution and account-connection tools follow Atomic Agent's configured approval policy. Review any approval prompt before allowing an action on your connected account. ## Connect Granola to Atomic Agent ### Connect Granola to Atomic Agent - Sign up or sign in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-api-key). Copy your API key. - In Atomic Agent, open the Integrations tab and select Composio. Select API key, press e, paste the key, and press Enter. The tools become available immediately, without a restart. - Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Granola. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Granola account, then return to Atomic Agent to continue. ### Headless setup Add the following line to ~/.atomic-agent/.env, replacing YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY with your key. Start Atomic Agent after saving the file. ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY ``` ## What is the Granola MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Granola MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Granola account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Granola operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GRANOLA_MCP_GET_MEETINGS` | Get meetings | Get detailed meeting information for one or more Granola meetings by ID. Returns private notes, AI-generated summary, attendees, and metadata. 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. | | `GRANOLA_MCP_GET_MEETING_TRANSCRIPT` | Get meeting transcript | Get the full transcript for a specific Granola meeting by ID. Returns only the verbatim transcript content, not summaries or notes. 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. | | `GRANOLA_MCP_LIST_MEETINGS` | List meetings | List the user's Granola meeting notes within a time range. Returns meeting titles and metadata. 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. | | `GRANOLA_MCP_QUERY_GRANOLA_MEETINGS` | Query granola meetings | 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. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Troubleshooting ### Why is my API key rejected? Copy the key directly from the Composio dashboard. Atomic Agent requires ASCII characters because it sends the key in an HTTP header. Remove any extra characters introduced when copying. ### Why are Composio tools unavailable after saving a key? Check that you use Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later and that Composio is enabled in your configuration. A "composio": { "enabled": false } setting disables the integration while keeping the saved key on disk. ### Does Composio have a free plan? The Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month. Composio-managed OAuth apps have a lower included allowance. See [Composio pricing](/pricing) for the current limits that apply to your connection. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Use Granola from Atomic Agent With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Granola in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

With a standalone Granola MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Granola tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Granola and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Atomic Agent? Yes, you can. Atomic Agent fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Granola tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Granola while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Granola scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Granola data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
