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 Google cloud vision account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can bulk import product images from GCS CSV, list all Vision AI service locations, create a new product for image recognition, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve. ## Also integrate Google cloud vision with - [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/kimi) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server? - Read and write access. Composio's Google cloud vision 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 Google cloud vision 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 Google cloud vision 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 Google cloud vision 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 Google cloud vision MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Google cloud vision MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Cloud Vision account. It provides structured and secure access to your image analysis resources, so your agent can perform actions like registering products, managing reference images, listing endpoints, and automating large-scale image operations on your behalf. - Product and reference image management: Easily create new products and add reference images for visual search, enabling your agent to organize and expand your vision datasets effortlessly. - Bulk import and product set operations: Let your agent import large numbers of reference images into product sets from Cloud Storage CSV files, streamlining dataset curation at scale. - Automated product cleanup and deletion: Direct your agent to purge unused or orphan products from your project, keeping your cloud resources tidy without manual effort. - Location and endpoint discovery: Quickly list available Vision AI service locations and existing IndexEndpoints, making it easy for your agent to select optimal regions and manage deployment targets. - Vision API operation tracking: Retrieve and review ongoing or past Vision API operations, so your agent can monitor processing jobs and ensure workflow transparency. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GOOGLE_CLOUD_VISION_ANNOTATE_FILES` | Annotate Files with Vision API | Tool to perform image detection and annotation for batch files in Google Cloud Vision.

Use this when you need to: - Remove outdated or incorrect product reference images - Clean up test images from products - Update product imagery by removing old references Prerequisites: - The product must exist - The reference image must have been previously created under the product - You need the full resource path of the reference image (use List Reference Images if unknown) | | `GOOGLE_CLOUD_VISION_VISION_GET_OPERATION` | Get Vision API Operation | Retrieves the latest state of a long-running Vision API operation. Use this to poll the status of asynchronous operations like importProductSets or purgeProducts. The operation name is returned when you start an async operation. | | `GOOGLE_CLOUD_VISION_VISION_GET_REFERENCE_IMAGE` | Get Reference Image | Tool to get information associated with a ReferenceImage. Use when you have the full resource name and need its metadata. | | `GOOGLE_CLOUD_VISION_VISION_LIST_PRODUCTS_IN_PRODUCT_SET` | List Products in ProductSet | Tool to list Products in a specified ProductSet. Use when you need to retrieve Products associated with a ProductSet after confirming it exists, with optional pagination. | | `GOOGLE_CLOUD_VISION_VISION_LIST_PROJECTS` | List Projects | List Google Cloud projects accessible to the authenticated user via Cloud Resource Manager API. This action queries the Cloud Resource Manager API (not Vision API directly) to enumerate projects. It requires OAuth 2.0 authentication - API key auth is insufficient. Use this when you need to discover available project IDs before making Vision API calls that require project identifiers. Note: Returns projects you have 'resourcemanager.projects.get' permission on. | | `GOOGLE_CLOUD_VISION_VISION_LIST_REFERENCE_IMAGES` | List Reference Images | Tool to list reference images for a product. Use when you need to retrieve stored reference images under a specified product resource name, with optional pagination. | | `GOOGLE_CLOUD_VISION_VISION_REMOVE_PRODUCT_FROM_PRODUCT_SET` | Remove Product from ProductSet | Removes a Product from a specified ProductSet in Google Cloud Vision API. This operation unlinks a product from a product set but does not delete either resource. Both the product and product set must exist in the same Google Cloud project and location. The product must have been previously added to the product set for this operation to succeed. Use this when you need to reorganize products across product sets or remove a product from a set without deleting the product itself. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, Grok Build can access the Google cloud vision MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your terminal. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Google cloud vision MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/kimi) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/google_cloud_vision/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 Google cloud vision MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Google cloud vision tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Google cloud vision 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 Google cloud vision data with Composio? Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Google cloud vision data and credentials are handled to that standard. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
