## 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 Charla 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 Charla 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 Charla to Grok Bot

### Connecting Charla to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Charla 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 Charla
### 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 Charla account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Charla or give it any Charla task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Export unresolved Charla conversations from today"
- "Find property contacts needing follow-up"
- "Create article for check-in questions"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Charla 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 Charla through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Charla MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Charla account. It provides structured and secure access to your customer contacts, conversation history, and knowledge base, so your agent can review contacts, export conversations, browse help content, and manage articles on your behalf.
- Customer contact lookup: Have your agent list recently updated contacts and retrieve a specific contact when you need more details.
- Conversation review: Let the agent export customer conversations with their message history for support reviews, summaries, or follow-up planning.
- Knowledge base discovery: Instruct your agent to browse article summaries, read full articles, and review the available categories.
- Article creation and updates: Direct your agent to create new knowledge base articles or replace the content and details of existing ones.
- Knowledge base cleanup: Have your agent permanently delete outdated knowledge base articles you no longer want to publish.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CHARLA_CREATE_KB_ARTICLE` | Create Knowledge Base Article | Create a knowledge base article. Charla generates its URL slug from the title and may use it for chatbot training according to the property's AI settings. Defaults to a private draft. |
| `CHARLA_DELETE_KB_ARTICLE` | Delete Knowledge Base Article | Permanently delete one knowledge base article by ID. This cannot be undone, and deleting an already-missing article fails. |
| `CHARLA_GET_CONTACT` | Get Contact | Return one contact in the connected Charla property by UUID. |
| `CHARLA_GET_KB_ARTICLE` | Get Knowledge Base Article | Return the full content and metadata of one knowledge base article by ID. |
| `CHARLA_LIST_CONTACTS` | List Contacts | Return one page of contacts for the connected Charla property, ordered by most recently modified. |
| `CHARLA_LIST_CONVERSATIONS` | List Conversations | Export one page of conversations grouped by contact for the connected Charla property, including message history. |
| `CHARLA_LIST_KB_ARTICLES` | List Knowledge Base Articles | Return one page of knowledge base article summaries for the connected Charla property, newest first. |
| `CHARLA_LIST_KB_CATEGORIES` | List Knowledge Base Categories | Return all knowledge base categories available in the connected Charla property. |
| `CHARLA_UPDATE_KB_ARTICLE` | Update Knowledge Base Article | Replace every writable field of an existing knowledge base article. Charla regenerates the URL slug from the replacement title and may retrain chatbot content according to the property's AI settings. |

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that Charla 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 Charla MCP?

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

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

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