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 Finviz 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 Finviz in plain language.

Why use Composio?

Composio exposes 1,700+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get:

  • Connect to 1,700+ 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.

Connecting Finviz to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Finviz 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 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.

1. Add the Composio plugin

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 Finviz account

Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Finviz or give it any Finviz task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "List top gainers in the last week"
  • "Create watchlist for tech growth stocks"
  • "Set price alerts for selected tickers"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Finviz 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 Finviz through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Finviz MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Finviz account. It provides structured and secure access to market screening and research data, so your agent can screen stocks, review market news, analyze price history and options, monitor filings and events, and examine portfolios and investor holdings on your behalf.

  • Stock screening and market research: Have your agent find stocks using your preferred Finviz screener settings and review market groups by sector, industry, country, or capitalization.
  • News and market event tracking: Let the agent retrieve market, stock, ETF, or crypto news and check upcoming economic events, earnings, and dividends within a date range.
  • Price and options analysis: Direct your agent to review historical price and volume data for a ticker or inspect its options chain by expiration date or strike price.
  • Filings and insider activity: Instruct your agent to find recent SEC filings for a company and review ticker-specific or market-wide insider purchases and sales.
  • Portfolio and institutional holdings research: Have your agent retrieve a Finviz portfolio, search for institutional investors or funds, and examine their reported holdings.

Way Forward

Now that Finviz 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Finviz MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Finviz tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Finviz and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Finviz tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Finviz 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.

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 Finviz data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
