## 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 Granted 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 Granted in plain language.

## Also integrate Granted MCP with

- [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granted_mcp/framework/chatgpt)
- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/granted_mcp/framework/claude-cowork)

## 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 Granted MCP to Grok Bot

### Connecting Granted to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Granted 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 Granted
### 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 Granted account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Granted or give it any Granted task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Find grants matching our nonprofit mission"
- "List upcoming grant deadlines this month"
- "Check eligibility for federal research grants"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Granted 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 Granted through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Granted MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to Granted. It provides structured and secure access to grant opportunities and funder data, so your agent can search grants, research foundations, review eligibility and deadlines, inspect grant details, and identify past winners on your behalf.
- Grant opportunity discovery: Have your agent search more than 140,000 grant opportunities by keyword, state, source type, or funder.
- Detailed grant research: Direct your agent to retrieve full details for a specific grant, including its eligibility requirements and deadline information.
- Foundation searches: Let the agent search more than 133,000 US foundations by name, state, NTEE code, assets, or annual income.
- Funder profiles: Instruct your agent to review a foundation's mission, five-year financials, recent awards, key officers, and application information.
- Past winner analysis: Have your agent identify organizations that previously won a specific federal grant program for competitive research.

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

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

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

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

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