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 DeepSeek account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can summarize latest AI research news, generate chatbot response for user query, search documents for cybersecurity trends, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve. ## Also integrate DeepSeek with - [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/kimi) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server? - Read and write access. Composio's DeepSeek 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 DeepSeek 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 DeepSeek 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 DeepSeek 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 DeepSeek MCP server, and what's possible with it? The DeepSeek MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your DeepSeek account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform DeepSeek operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `DEEPSEEK_CREATE_ANTHROPIC_MESSAGE` | Create Anthropic Message | Tool to create a model response using DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible API format with support for system prompts, tool calling, streaming, and thinking mode. Use when you need to generate chat completions using the Anthropic Messages API format. Requires base_url='https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic' or metadata base_url ending with '/anthropic'. Supports extended thinking, function calling with tools, and streaming responses. Note: Images and documents are not supported in content blocks. | | `DEEPSEEK_CREATE_CHAT_COMPLETION` | Create Chat Completion | Tool to create a chat completion using DeepSeek models (deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner). Use when you need to generate AI responses to chat conversations. Supports streaming, tool/function calling, and various parameters to control generation behavior (temperature, max_tokens, etc.). | | `DEEPSEEK_GET_USER_BALANCE` | Get User Balance | Tool to get user's current account balance including granted and topped-up balances with detailed breakdown by currency (CNY or USD). Use when you need to check if the user has sufficient balance for API calls or to view detailed balance information. | | `DEEPSEEK_LIST_MODELS` | List Models | Tool to list currently available DeepSeek models and provides basic information about each one such as the owner and availability. Use when you need to discover which models are available for API calls. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, Grok Build can access the DeepSeek MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your terminal. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build DeepSeek MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/kimi) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/deepseek/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Composio](https://composio.dev/toolkits/composio) - Composio is an integration platform that connects AI agents with hundreds of business tools.

A standalone DeepSeek MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of DeepSeek tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from DeepSeek 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 DeepSeek data with Composio? Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your DeepSeek data and credentials are handled to that standard. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
