This guide explains how to connect Basecamp to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with Basecamp in plain language. ## Also integrate Basecamp with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/codex) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/grok-build) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/hermes-agent) - [Pi](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/pi-agent) - [DeepSeek Harness](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/deepseek) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR Composio exposes 1,500+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get: - Connect to 1,500+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions. - Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls. - Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean. ## Connect Basecamp to Grok Bot ### Connecting Basecamp to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Basecamp entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute. ### Set up Grok Bot Get access. Grok Bot is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams, and SuperGrok Heavy. Get the desktop app for macOS or Windows from [x.ai/bot](https://x.ai/bot) and sign in. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices. Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time. ### Connect Basecamp ### 1. Add the Composio plugin Click the button. The Composio listing on x.ai opens and launches Grok Bot for you. If the app does not open on its own, click Add to Grok Bot. [Add to Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot/plugin/32661537) Grok Bot opens the Composio plugin, showing its connector and skills. Click Add. ### 2. Authenticate Go to the Installed section and click the Composio entry. You'll see its connector and skills listed. Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens. ### 3. Connect your Basecamp account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Basecamp or give it any Basecamp task. For example, ask it to: - "Create a new project for client onboarding" - "Add a to-do item to the marketing team" - "Post a team-wide announcement in Campfire chat" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Basecamp account is ready to use. ## What is Grok Bot? Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps. With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like Basecamp through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Basecamp MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Basecamp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Basecamp account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Basecamp operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools None listed. ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Basecamp MCP server through Composio to run the actions you authorize, using plain language in the chat. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Basecamp is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Basecamp MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/codex) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/grok-build) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/hermes-agent) - [Pi](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/pi-agent) - [DeepSeek Harness](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/deepseek) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Gmail](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gmail) - Gmail is Google's email service with powerful spam protection, search, and G Suite integration.

With a standalone Basecamp MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Basecamp tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Basecamp and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Grok Bot? Yes, you can. Grok Bot fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Basecamp tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Basecamp while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Basecamp scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Basecamp data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
