This guide explains how to connect Cardly 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 Cardly in plain language. ## Also integrate Cardly with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/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 Cardly to Grok Bot ### Connecting Cardly to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Cardly 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 Cardly ### 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 Cardly account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Cardly or give it any Cardly task. For example, ask it to: - "Create a new contact list named 'VIP Clients'" - "List all available artwork for our next campaign" - "Generate a preview of a card using latest artwork" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Cardly 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 Cardly through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Cardly MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Cardly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cardly account. It provides structured and secure access to your Cardly workspace, so your agent can create contact lists, generate card previews, manage invitations, and access artwork or credit history for seamless customer engagement tasks. - Automated contact list creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to set up new contact lists or manage existing ones, streamlining outreach campaigns and personalized mailings. - Card preview generation and artwork browsing: Let your agent generate watermarked card previews and browse available artwork to help you select the right designs before sending mailers. - Real-time credit and gift history access: Ask your agent to fetch your credit or gift credit history so you always know your account status and can track usage or plan new campaigns. - Invitation and webhook management: Direct your agent to handle invitations—listing, deleting, or auditing user invites—or manage webhooks for seamless integration with other systems. - Font and design asset exploration: Have your agent list available fonts and artwork, making it easier to choose creative assets for your next customer engagement initiative. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CARDLY_CREATE_CONTACT_LIST` | Create Contact List | Tool to add a new contact list.

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 Cardly MCP Agent with another framework - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cardly/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Reddit](https://composio.dev/toolkits/reddit) - Reddit is a social news platform with thriving user-driven communities (subreddits).

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