Standard

Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Granola MCP integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Granola MCP calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Granola MCP data, across all 4 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Granola MCP access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Granola MCP, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Granola MCP is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Granola MCP.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Granola MCP action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven respects the permission model set within your Granola account. The agent can only access meetings that the authenticated user has permission to view. If a meeting is marked as private or restricted by the owner, it will not appear in search results and cannot be retrieved via the Get meeting action. We do not bypass any of the native visibility settings. If you need the agent to process a specific private note, you must first ensure the account connected to Ceven has explicit access to that record within the Granola app itself.
No. Ceven interacts with Granola through the MCP layer, which means it processes data that has already been captured and transcribed by Granola. To get audio into the workflow, you must first record the meeting using Granola or upload the audio to Granola for processing. Once Granola generates the transcript and the AI summary, Ceven can pull that text to run your workflows. We cannot bypass the Granola transcription engine to process raw audio files directly within the Ceven interface.
Yes. The Granola MCP has a rate limit on search queries to ensure platform stability. If you attempt to search across thousands of meetings in a single prompt, you may encounter a temporary throttle. To avoid this, use the Filter meetings by date action to narrow the window of search. By scoping your query to a specific week or month, the agent can retrieve results more reliably and avoid the API limits imposed by the Granola backend for high volume requests.
Ceven does not store your transcripts in a permanent database. We pull the necessary text from Granola in real time to execute your request and hold it in short term context memory to complete the task. Once the workflow finishes, such as when a Jira ticket is created from a meeting note, the raw transcript is cleared from the active session. Your data remains hosted by Granola, and we only act as a conduit to move that information into your other productivity tools.
The current integration focuses on data retrieval and action extraction rather than full account management. While Ceven can tag meetings and archive them, it cannot create new folders or move meetings between existing folders in the Granola UI. You should use the Granola app for high level organization and use Ceven for the operational work of turning those notes into tasks. We are constantly updating the available actions as the MCP evolves to include more management capabilities.
The accuracy depends on the clarity of the conversation and the quality of the Granola transcript. Ceven uses a combination of Granola's AI summary and its own reasoning to identify tasks. It looks for keywords like I will or can you and checks for assigned owners. Because AI can sometimes misinterpret nuance, we recommend using the Update meeting summary action to refine the output. The agent is designed to draft these items for your review rather than blindly pushing them into production systems.
Yes, you can build a workflow that triggers after a meeting ends. Ceven can pull the summary, clean up any internal notes, and send the polished version via email or Slack to your external clients. You can set up a review step where the agent drafts the email and waits for your sign off before sending. This ensures that sensitive internal discussions captured in the transcript do not accidentally leak to the customer in the final summary.
If a meeting is deleted in Granola, it is immediately removed from the source. Since Ceven does not store a local copy of the transcript, any subsequent attempts to reference that meeting ID will result in an error. If the agent was in the middle of a workflow when the deletion happened, the process will fail at the read step. We recommend archiving meetings instead of deleting them if you want to maintain the ability to run historical workflows on that data.
