## 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 DirectIQ 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 DirectIQ in plain language.

## Also integrate DirectIQ with

- [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/directiq/framework/chatgpt)
- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/directiq/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/directiq/framework/hermes-agent)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/directiq/framework/atomic-agent)

## 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 DirectIQ to Grok Bot

### Connecting DirectIQ to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect DirectIQ 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 DirectIQ
### 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 DirectIQ account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to DirectIQ or give it any DirectIQ task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Send transactional email to user@example.com"
- "List last 20 sent emails statuses"
- "Create a new email template for onboarding"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your DirectIQ 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 DirectIQ through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The DirectIQ MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your DirectIQ account. It provides structured and secure access to transactional email sending, so your agent can send immediate messages, deliver account notifications, issue time-sensitive alerts, and contact individual recipients on your behalf.
- Immediate transactional email: Have your agent send a transactional email to one recipient as soon as it is needed.
- Account notifications: Let the agent email individual users about account activity, status changes, or other important updates.
- Time-sensitive alerts: Direct your agent to send urgent alerts from a sender accepted by DirectIQ.
- Personalized recipient messages: Instruct your agent to send a specific transactional message to an individual recipient.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `DIRECTIQ_SEND_TRANSACTIONAL_EMAIL` | Send Transactional Email | Send one transactional email immediately from a DirectIQ-accepted sender to exactly one recipient. This externally visible, non-idempotent action may deliver email and can create duplicate sends if retried; DirectIQ does not support cc or bcc on this endpoint. |

## Supported Triggers

None listed.

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

Once connected, your Grok bot can access the DirectIQ 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 DirectIQ 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 DirectIQ MCP?

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

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

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