Perplexity

Autonomous meeting context retrieval

Cascade uses `get_transcript` and `get_summary` to pull meeting data directly into your workspace. You just tell it the goal, and it chains the necessary calls. It handles the heavy lifting by fetching relevant documents via `list_recent` or `search_documents` automatically. You get the facts you need to write features without ever leaving your editor.

Action item tracking for Windsurf

Stop digging through notes to find what you promised to build. Cascade runs `get_action_items` to turn meeting discussions into a clear list of tasks. This MCP Server keeps your project on track by linking meeting outcomes to your codebase. It bridges the gap between what you discussed and what you actually ship.

Deep meeting document inspection

Drill into the details of any discussion using `get_content` or `get_participants`. Cascade parses the structure of your notes to verify specific requirements. You don't have to hunt for information when this MCP Server exposes the full Granola backend. It gives your agent the raw data needed to make informed decisions.
