Api Key

ImageRouter is an AI media generation API for creating images, videos, and text with multiple models. It gives developers one simple route to generate assets, inspect credits, and discover available models.

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 ImageRouter 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 ImageRouter 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 ImageRouter to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect ImageRouter 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.

Connect ImageRouter

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.

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 ImageRouter account

Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to ImageRouter or give it any ImageRouter task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Generate product hero images from briefs"
  • "Create short videos for campaigns"
  • "Check ImageRouter credits before batch generation"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The ImageRouter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ImageRouter account. It provides structured and secure access to ImageRouter's generative models, model details, and account credits, so your agent can generate images, edit images, create videos, produce text, and review usage on your behalf.

  • Image generation: Have your agent turn a detailed text prompt into an image using a selected ImageRouter model.
  • Image editing: Direct your agent to transform or inpaint one or more existing images provided as web links or embedded image data.
  • Video creation: Let the agent generate videos from written prompts, with optional images supplied as visual inputs.
  • Text and multimodal responses: Instruct your agent to create text completions or responses based on plain text and structured multimodal input.
  • Model and credit checks: Have your agent discover available models, review their capabilities, supported options, and pricing, then check remaining credits and usage before starting paid work.

Way Forward

Now that ImageRouter 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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