## 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 iLert 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 iLert 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 iLert to Grok Bot

### Connecting iLert to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect iLert 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 iLert
### 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 iLert account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to iLert or give it any iLert task.
For example, ask it to:
- "List open iLert incidents by priority"
- "Create high priority alert for database"
- "Update status page for API outage"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your iLert 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 iLert through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The iLert MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your iLert account. It provides structured and secure access to your alerts, incidents, on-call schedules, escalation policies, services, teams, and maintenance windows, so your agent can review alerts, track incidents, identify on-call responders, inspect schedules, and browse response resources on your behalf.
- Alert monitoring: Have your agent list alerts by state, source, escalation policy, responder, or report time, then retrieve the details of a specific alert.
- Incident tracking: Let the agent list status incidents by lifecycle state, affected service, or report time, and review a specific incident's affected teams and history.
- On-call coverage: Direct your agent to find who is on call for selected schedules, escalation policies, users, and time windows.
- Schedule visibility: Instruct your agent to list on-call schedules and review current shifts, upcoming shifts, or schedule definitions.
- Response resource lookup: Have your agent browse services, teams, escalation policies, and maintenance windows when investigating operational issues.

## Supported Tools

| `ILERT_LIST_ON_CALLS` | List On Calls | Find who is on call for selected escalation policies, schedules, users, and a time window of at most three months. Returns one page and a continuation cursor. |
| `ILERT_LIST_RESOURCES` | List Resources | List one incident-response resource catalog: services, teams, escalation policies, or maintenance windows. Use returned IDs as filters or references in alert, incident, and on-call tools. |
| `ILERT_LIST_SCHEDULES` | List Schedules | List iLert on-call schedules, optionally expanding current or next shifts and schedule definitions. Returns one page and a continuation cursor. |

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that iLert 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 iLert MCP?

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

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

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