Vendor: granola.ai · entry id 03-granola · source 03-conversation-intel.md line 296

What it does
General-purpose AI notetaker that generates enhanced meeting notes and summaries from a local desktop app.
AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it
AI-enhanced note generation that blends your own typed notes with the transcript, plus meeting search. It is NOT a dedicated deal-scoring or CRM-writeback tool by design - it is horizontal, not sales-specific - though users can build sales workflows (e.g., drafting CRM notes from a sales call) on top of its MCP server.
RevOps role
Horizontal meeting-notes layer that a RevOps stack can wire into sales workflows via MCP, but it is not a conversation-intelligence product in the Gong/Chorus sense - no native deal scoring, no coaching scorecards.

The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established by hand on 2026-08-24. On 2026-09-04 no recorded MCP URL answered.

What this server exposes

Not harvested yet. Unmeasured, not empty: nobody has read this server's tool list, so this page says nothing about what it exposes.

141 of the 741 entries that record an official or community MCP server carry a harvested tool list. The other 600 are unmeasured, which is not the same as empty. Harvest last run 2026-09-27. The full roll up is on the tools index.

Command line

This is a third party's CLI. It was published by somebody other than the vendor, so it is that author's surface for the vendor's API and not the vendor's published surface. The two must not be read as the same thing.

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

A github.com URL already appears somewhere in this entry, which is a seed for that rail and not a measurement of repo health:

On GitHub

No GitHub organisation could be tied to granola.ai with evidence on 2026-09-08.

Recorded by the harvest: github candidates were seen but none passed the evidence rules.

7 candidate accounts seen and rejected by the evidence rules: chrisguillory, Bencockin, Granola-Team, granola-inc, GranolaCash. A name match alone is never accepted; the account has to point at the vendor domain.

Jobs it can do

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 tags are assigned in total.

Notes, verbatim from the file
Included per the seed list, but flagged clearly: Granola is a horizontal notetaker with an official MCP server, not a sales-specific conversation-intelligence product - do not conflate it with Gong-class tools. [api_gate 2026-08-25] Reclassified unknown -> paid from the vendor's own page (https://www.granola.ai/pricing): API access and MCP integration start on the Business plan at $14/user/mo; the $0 Basic plan has neither.
