## Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Granola MCP MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Granola MCP to Codex

### How to install Granola MCP MCP in Codex
### Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

```bash
codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is the Granola MCP MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Granola MCP 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 MCP account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Granola MCP 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. |

## Conclusion

### Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Granola MCP with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Granola MCP directly from your terminal, VS Code, or the Codex App using natural language commands.
Key benefits of this setup:
- Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
- Natural language commands for Granola MCP operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
- CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking Codex to perform various Granola MCP operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Granola MCP MCP?

With a standalone Granola MCP MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Granola MCP tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Granola MCP and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex?

Yes, you can. Codex 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 MCP tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Granola MCP while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Granola MCP 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 MCP data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
