Claude Code How to use Granola with Claude Code
You want Granola inside Claude Code so it can review customer meetings, find meetings with unresolved follow-ups, prepare a weekly meeting digest, and audit a meeting record — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Granola gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Granola tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Granola tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Granola tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-
Try it out
Open Claude Code in your project and ask it to use one of your Granola tools.

Use scoped credentials and access controls to limit an agent to meeting metadata or transcript access. Pair it with Contextual Access policies to keep sensitive meeting transcripts available only to the agents and workflows that need them.
