Granola Local Dev Loop

Overview

Access Granola meeting data programmatically using three methods: the local cache file (zero-auth, offline), the MCP server (AI agent integration), or the Enterprise API (workspace-wide access). Build developer workflows that turn meeting outcomes into code tasks, documentation, and project artifacts.

Prerequisites

• Granola installed with meetings captured
• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ for scripts
• For MCP: Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible client
• For Enterprise API: Business/Enterprise plan + API key

Instructions

Step 1 — Read the Local Cache (Zero Auth)

Granola stores meeting data in a local JSON cache file:

# macOS cache location
CACHE_FILE="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v3.json"

# Check if cache exists and get size
ls -lh "$CACHE_FILE"

The cache has a double-JSON structure (JSON string inside JSON):

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Extract meetings from Granola local cache."""
import json
from pathlib import Path

CACHE_PATH = Path.home() / "Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v3.json"

def load_granola_cache():
    raw = json.loads(CACHE_PATH.read_text())
    # Cache contains a JSON string that needs secondary parsing
    state = json.loads(raw) if isinstance(raw, str) else raw
    data = state.get("state", state)
    return {
        "documents": data.get("documents", {}),
        "transcripts": data.get("transcripts", {}),
        "meetings_metadata": data.get("meetingsMetadata", {}),
    }

cache = load_granola_cache()
docs = cache[]
()


 doc_id, doc  (docs.items(),
                          key= x: x[].get(, ),
                          reverse=)[:]:
    ()
