How to Add MCP to Grok Bot: ToolRouter Setup Guide

ToolRouter in Grok Bot uses an account-dependent setup path, not a verified one-click install. ToolRouter is not in the Grok Bot marketplace, and direct acceptance has not been completed in a signed-in Grok Bot account.

Set up the shared MCP connection#

1. Add ToolRouter to Cursor under Settings > MCP with https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp and complete OAuth.
2. Open Grok Bot Settings > Plugins > Yours.
3. Enable ToolRouter if the current account exposes it.
4. For a team, ask an admin to allow the ToolRouter HTTPS endpoint in Cursor Team MCP policy.
5. Restart Grok Bot after a policy change.

Do not stop at an installed label. Ask the Bot to use ToolRouter to discover a free public website tool, run it on https://example.com, and return the result. Setup is confirmed only if ToolRouter appears, authentication succeeds, discover and use_tool both work, and the result returns in the conversation.

If ToolRouter does not appear, use the verified Grok connector, Grok Build command, or xAI API setup.
