This guide explains how to connect Emailoctopus 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 Emailoctopus in plain language. ## Also integrate Emailoctopus with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/emailoctopus/framework/autogen) ## 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 Emailoctopus to Grok Bot ### Connecting Emailoctopus to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Emailoctopus 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 Emailoctopus ### 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 Emailoctopus account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Emailoctopus or give it any Emailoctopus task. For example, ask it to: - "Add new subscribers to your newsletter list" - "Unsubscribe a user from marketing emails" - "List all recent email campaigns sent" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Emailoctopus 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 Emailoctopus through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Emailoctopus MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Emailoctopus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Emailoctopus account. It provides structured and secure access to your subscriber lists, contacts, and campaigns, so your agent can perform actions like managing lists, adding contacts, launching campaigns, and handling unsubscriptions on your behalf. - Seamless contact management: Your agent can create new contacts, update details, or remove subscribers from your marketing lists in seconds. - Mailing list creation and organization: Effortlessly set up new mailing lists and keep your audience segmented for targeted campaigns. - Campaign insights and retrieval: Instantly access details about your recent email campaigns, including summaries and performance data. - Automated unsubscriptions and compliance: Quickly unsubscribe contacts or delete them to keep your lists clean and privacy-compliant. - Bulk list management: Retrieve and organize all mailing lists in your account, making it easy to scale and update your marketing efforts. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `EMAILOCTOPUS_CREATE_CONTACT` | Create Contact | This tool creates a new contact in EmailOctopus.

With a standalone Emailoctopus MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Emailoctopus tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Emailoctopus 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 Emailoctopus tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Emailoctopus while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Emailoctopus 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 Emailoctopus data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
