This guide explains how to connect Boxhero 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 Boxhero in plain language. ## Also integrate Boxhero with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/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 Boxhero to Grok Bot ### Connecting Boxhero to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Boxhero 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 Boxhero ### 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 Boxhero account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Boxhero or give it any Boxhero task. For example, ask it to: - "Check current stock levels for a product" - "List inventory items low on quantity" - "Generate inventory report for this week" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Boxhero 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 Boxhero through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Boxhero MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Boxhero MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Boxhero account. It provides structured and secure access to your inventory data, so your agent can perform actions like tracking stock levels, managing item records, processing barcode scans, and generating analytics reports on your behalf. - Real-time inventory tracking: Instantly let your agent check current stock levels for any item or product in your Boxhero account. - Barcode-based item management: Have your agent update inventory using barcode scans, making it easy to add, remove, or audit items with accuracy. - Collaborative team updates: Empower your agent to log inventory changes, notify team members, or assign tasks to keep everyone in sync. - Inventory analytics and reporting: Ask your agent to generate insights—like low-stock alerts or usage trends—to help you make smarter decisions. - Streamlined item entry and editing: Let your agent create new inventory items or update existing records, including descriptions, quantities, and categories. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BOXHERO_DELETE_ITEM` | Delete Item | Tool to delete a specific item (barcode) by its ID.

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 Boxhero MCP Agent with another framework - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/boxhero/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

With a standalone Boxhero MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Boxhero tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Boxhero 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 Boxhero tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Boxhero while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Boxhero 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 Boxhero data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
