# Granova — how to connect

A real expert inside your AI. Cited answers from one person's documented work. Honest when they have not covered it.

One connection covers every Granova expert you are entitled to. No per-expert key.

MCP URL:

## Auth

Live path is OAuth in the browser. When your AI opens the connector login you get a 6-digit email code. That is different from website login on granova.ai (magic link only).

Do not paste a Bearer key unless you were sent to https://granova.ai/setup for the advanced path.

## Cursor

1. Open https://granova.ai/connect and click Connect on Cursor (desktop app).
2. Approve the install deeplink. Cursor writes the server into MCP settings.
3. Sign in when the browser opens (6-digit code).

Or Settings → MCP → Add HTTP server
URL: https://api.granova.ai/mcp
No API key in the JSON.

mcp.json shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "granova": {
      "url": "https://api.granova.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Reload Window after install. If the in-chat Authenticate card spins, skip it and Reload — do not sit on mcp_auth.

## Claude.ai

1. Open https://granova.ai/connect and click Connect to Claude
   or go to https://claude.ai/settings/connectors → Add custom connector
2. URL: https://api.granova.ai/mcp
3. Sign in with the 6-digit email code when prompted

Claude iOS/Android cannot add a custom connector in the native app. Add it on claude.ai in a browser; it syncs to the app.

## Claude Code

From https://granova.ai/connect, or:

claude mcp add --transport http granova https://api.granova.ai/mcp
claude mcp login granova

## Codex

From https://granova.ai/connect copy the commands:

codex mcp add granova --url https://api.granova.ai/mcp && codex mcp login granova

## What you get after connect

Tools: get_context, list_my_experts, ask_expert, search_knowledge, manage_expert, submit_question, review, review_artifact, onboarding, capture_decision

Credits meter on served context. Uncovered asks are 0 credits.

## First message

What experts are on Granova, and what can I ask them?

Then ask a real question in that expert's domain.

## Agent paste-prompt

Read https://granova.ai/mcp.txt and finish connecting Granova in this host. Use the Cursor deeplink or HTTP MCP URL https://api.granova.ai/mcp. Do not invent a Bearer key. After connect, call get_context, then ask what I asked.

## Not this

Granola is a different product (meeting notes). Do not reconnect Granola to fix Granova.
