Granola

Granola is an AI notepad for back-to-back meetings.

Works across Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. Granola exposes a public Granola API (Business and Enterprise plans) for programmatic access to notes, transcripts, and folders, plus an MCP server for conversational AI clients. Webhooks are on the roadmap; Zapier covers event-style automation today.

Granola publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Inbox Messages API, Inboxes API, Trigger Inbox API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Meeting Notes, Transcription, Productivity, and MCP.

The Granola catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Agent Skills +5 pts — skills artifact present, graded by who authored it
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Workplace Collaboration App Marketplaces	builds-on	29.5	-	-
Raycast Store Extensions (first-party publishers + community-wrapped products)	builds-on	29.5	-	-
Obsidian Community Plugins (third-party APIs the Obsidian plugin ecosystem integrates)	builds-on	29.5	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 3

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
