## Introduction

Grok is xAI's assistant, and its bot builder lets you create a personal agent that holds context, runs skills, and connects to the apps you already use through plugins.
This guide explains how to connect Castingwords 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 Castingwords in plain language.

## 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 Castingwords to Grok Bot

### Connecting Castingwords to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Castingwords 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 Castingwords
### 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 Castingwords account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Castingwords or give it any Castingwords task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Transcribe this podcast episode from its URL"
- "Check your available transcription balance now"
- "Order timestamps upgrade for file 12345"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Castingwords 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 Castingwords through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the Castingwords MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Castingwords MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Castingwords account. It provides structured and secure access to transcription services, so your agent can place new orders, check account balances, manage webhooks, and upgrade or refund audio files on your behalf.
- Seamless transcription ordering: Let your agent initiate new audio or video transcription jobs using just a media URL—no manual uploads needed.
- Account balance and SKU checks: Effortlessly retrieve your prepay balance or list available transcription services and pricing before placing orders.
- Webhook management and testing: Register, verify, and test webhooks to automatically receive transcript completion notifications in your own systems.
- Transcription order management: Upgrade completed jobs (for example, to add timestamps), or cancel and refund audio files before work begins if needed.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CASTINGWORDS_CANCEL_AUDIOFILE` | Cancel and Refund Audio File | Tool to cancel an ordered audio file and issue a refund if applicable. Use when no transcription work has been done on the file (Pre-Processing, Audio Processing, Error states). |
| `CASTINGWORDS_GET_PREPAY_BALANCE` | Get Prepay Balance | Tool to retrieve the current prepay balance for the account. Use when you need to check available funds before placing new transcription orders. |
| `CASTINGWORDS_GET_TRANSCRIPT` | Get Transcript | Tool to retrieve the transcript for a given audiofile in the requested format (txt, doc, rtf, or html). Use after a transcription order has been completed. |
| `CASTINGWORDS_GET_WEBHOOK` | Get registered webhook URL | Tool to retrieve the currently registered webhook URL for account notifications. Use when you need to verify your webhook setup. |
| `CASTINGWORDS_ORDER_TRANSCRIPT` | Order Transcript | Create a transcription order for audio/video files at publicly accessible URLs. Returns order ID and audiofile IDs for tracking. Requires prepaid balance for non-test orders. Use test=true to validate URLs without charges. |
| `CASTINGWORDS_ORDER_UPGRADES` | Order Upgrades | Tool to order an upgrade for a specific audio file. Use after transcription is complete to add items like timestamps or extra editing. Example: 'Order timestamps for file 12345'. |
| `CASTINGWORDS_REGISTER_WEBHOOK` | Register Webhook | Registers a webhook URL to receive CastingWords event notifications. When events occur (e.g., transcript completion, refund issued, difficult audio), CastingWords will POST to your registered URL with event details. Use CASTINGWORDS_GET_WEBHOOK to verify the current webhook, and CASTINGWORDS_TEST_WEBHOOK to test notifications. |
| `CASTINGWORDS_SKU_LIST` | List Available SKUs | Retrieves all available CastingWords transcription service SKUs with pricing. Use this tool to discover available services (transcription, captions, etc.) and their per-minute prices before placing an order. Returns SKU codes needed for order placement. |
| `CASTINGWORDS_TEST_WEBHOOK` | Test Webhook Call | Tool to request a test webhook call for a specific event type. Use after registering a webhook URL to ensure webhook notifications are functioning properly. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Castingwords 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 Castingwords 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Castingwords MCP?

With a standalone Castingwords MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Castingwords tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Castingwords 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 Castingwords tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Castingwords while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Castingwords 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 Castingwords data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
