## 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 GorillaDesk 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 GorillaDesk in plain language.

## 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 GorillaDesk to Grok Bot

### Connecting GorillaDesk to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect GorillaDesk 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 GorillaDesk
### 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 GorillaDesk account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to GorillaDesk or give it any GorillaDesk task.
For example, ask it to:
- "List today's scheduled pest control jobs"
- "Create invoice for completed service call"
- "Find overdue GorillaDesk customer payments"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your GorillaDesk 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 GorillaDesk through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The GorillaDesk MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your GorillaDesk account. It provides structured and secure access to your customers, jobs, estimates, invoices, payments, documents, and company information, so your agent can create customers, add customer notes, find service records, review billing activity, and retrieve business details on your behalf.
- Customer management: Have your agent create customers with their primary service locations, find existing customers, and add permanent notes to customer records.
- Job and document lookup: Direct your agent to find jobs by customer, date, state, or keyword, and retrieve related documents using customer, job, date, status, state, or keyword filters.
- Estimate and invoice tracking: Let the agent retrieve estimates and invoices by customer, job, date, status, signature status, payment status, or keyword.
- Payment and credit review: Instruct your agent to find payments by customer, invoice, status, or date, and review customer credits.
- Company and service information: Have your agent retrieve your company profile, configured services, team users, and customer phone-type definitions.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GORILLADESK_CREATE_CUSTOMER` | Create Customer | Create a GorillaDesk customer together with the required primary service location. This is a permanent side effect: GorillaDesk exposes no customer-delete API, so the created business record cannot be removed with this toolkit. |
| `GORILLADESK_CREATE_CUSTOMER_NOTE` | Create Customer Note | Permanently add a text note to a GorillaDesk customer and optionally notify users. The API cannot remove a created note. This action excludes attachments and must not be retried after an ambiguous result because a retry can create a duplicate permanent note. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_COMPANY` | Get Company | Return the company profile selected by the connected GorillaDesk API key, including contact, address, timezone, and office-hours details. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_CREDITS` | Get Credits | Retrieve one customer credit by ID, or list credits, optionally filtering to one customer. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_CUSTOMERS` | Get Customers | Retrieve one customer by ID, or search and page through customers using status, state, account number, timestamps, expansions, and sorting. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_DOCUMENTS` | Get Documents | Retrieve one document by ID, or search documents by customer, job, state, status, creation time, keyword, and sorting. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_ESTIMATES` | Get Estimates | Retrieve one estimate by ID, or search estimates by customer, job, state, status, signature status, date, keyword, expansions, and sorting. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_INVOICES` | Get Invoices | Retrieve one invoice by ID, or search invoices by customer, job, state, payment/signature status, date, keyword, expansions, and sorting. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_JOBS` | Get Jobs | Retrieve one job by ID, or search jobs by customer, state, date, keyword, expansions, and sorting. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_PAYMENTS` | Get Payments | Retrieve one payment by ID, or search payments by customer, invoice, status, date, expansions, and sorting. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_SERVICES` | Get Services | Retrieve one GorillaDesk service by ID, or list configured services with sorting and offset pagination. |
| `GORILLADESK_GET_USERS` | Get Users | Retrieve one GorillaDesk user by ID, or list the company's users when no ID is supplied. |
| `GORILLADESK_LIST_PHONE_TYPES` | List Phone Types | List the configured customer phone-type definitions, including IDs, names, default flags, and states. |

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that GorillaDesk 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 GorillaDesk MCP?

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

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

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