## Introduction

### How to integrate Cursor MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Cursor account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can list all active cloud agents for this project, show recent code changes tracked by Cursor, summarize analytics for your team's workspace, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Cursor integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Cursor to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Cursor account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Cursor to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

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

The Cursor MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cursor account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Cursor operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CURSOR_GET_AGENT_CONVERSATION` | Get Agent Conversation | Tool to retrieve the conversation history for a specific cloud agent. Use when you need to view the messages exchanged between the user and the agent. Returns error with status 404 if the agent is not found or access is denied. |
| `CURSOR_GET_ME` | Get API Key Info | Tool to retrieve API key information including the key name, creation date, and owner email. Use when you need to verify API key details or validate authentication. |
| `CURSOR_LIST_AGENTS` | List Agents | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all Cursor Cloud agents. Use when you need to view existing agents, their status, or iterate through agents with pagination. |
| `CURSOR_LIST_MODELS` | List Available Models | Tool to retrieve the list of available AI models in Cursor. Use when you need to discover which models are available for API requests. |
| `CURSOR_LIST_GITHUB_REPOSITORIES` | List GitHub Repositories | Tool to list GitHub repositories accessible to the authenticated user. Use when you need to retrieve all repositories the user has access to through their Cursor account. |

## Supported Triggers

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Cursor MCP server?

A standalone Cursor MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Cursor tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Cursor and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Cursor data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Cursor data and credentials are handled to that standard.
