Align code with Granola decisions in VS Code Copilot

The `get_summary` tool retrieves concise product decisions from Granola directly into your VS Code Copilot chat. Developers can check feature requirements against actual meeting outcomes before writing a single line of code. This keeps your engineering team aligned with the product roadmap. VS Code Copilot reads the summaries to ensure your pull requests match the agreed-upon specifications.

Trace technical specs with this MCP Server

The `get_content` tool pulls the structured content of any Granola meeting directly into your active VS Code Copilot editor window. You do not need to switch to a browser to check the technical details discussed during the sprint planning. For broader context, use `get_metadata` to check when the document was created and who owned the discussion. VS Code Copilot processes this data to document your codebase with accurate reference links.

Track team deliverables inside your editor

The `get_action_items` tool extracts assigned tasks from Granola meetings directly into your VS Code Copilot chat via our MCP tools. Your team can quickly track completed tasks against the original meeting commitments. This works alongside `list_recent` to fetch the latest twenty meetings instantly. VS Code Copilot helps you manage your sprint tasks by comparing your current git branch against these extracted action items.
