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 Human Approval - HITL Platform 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 Human Approval - HITL Platform in plain language.

Why use Composio?

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.

Connecting Human Approval - HITL Platform to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Human Approval - HITL Platform 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.

3. Connect your Human Approval - HITL Platform account

Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Human Approval - HITL Platform or give it any Human Approval - HITL Platform task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Approve vendor payment before agent continues"
  • "Review outbound email before sending"
  • "Escalate risky deployment for human review"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

What is the Human Approval - HITL Platform MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Human Approval - HITL Platform MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Human Approval - HITL Platform account. It provides structured and secure access to your human approval loops and review requests, so your agent can organize reviewers, request decisions, track responses, cancel pending reviews, and manage approval loops on your behalf.

  • Approval loop management: Have your agent create, rename, describe, list, or permanently delete approval loops for different teams and workflows.
  • Reviewer readiness checks: Let the agent list active and pending reviewers in a loop before sending work for human approval.
  • Human approval requests: Direct your agent to create and broadcast structured approval requests to the active reviewers in a chosen loop.
  • Decision tracking and cancellation: Instruct your agent to check an approval request's status and human response, list previous requests, or cancel a pending request.
  • Account and allowance checks: Have your agent verify the connected account's status, permissions, and remaining request allowance before asking for approval.

Way Forward

Now that Human Approval - HITL Platform 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.

TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Human Approval - HITL Platform action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Cancel Approval Request

Irreversibly cancel a pending approval request so reviewers can no longer complete it.

Create Approval Request

Create and broadcast one human approval request to active members of an owned loop, consuming one provider request allowance.

Create Loop

Create an approval loop and return its loop ID and human invitation links; the connected account is added as an active member.

Delete Loop

Permanently delete an owned loop and all of its memberships, approval requests, responses, feedback, and analytics.

Get Account Status

Return the connected HITL account identity, status, permissions, and provider-reported request allowance before creating an approval request.

Get Approval Request

Get the current status, configuration, and human response for one approval request; use for deliberate polling after creation.

List Approval Requests

Return approval requests created by the connected API key, optionally restricted to one loop; pagination controls are omitted because the live API currently ignores them.

List Loop Members

Return a loop's active and pending human reviewers so an agent can verify readiness before broadcasting an approval request.

List Loops

Return all approval loops owned by the connected account, including embedded members and membership counts.

Update Loop

Update one or more display fields of an owned approval loop without changing its members or requests.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Human Approval - HITL Platform 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 Human Approval - HITL Platform data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
