## 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 Kanban Tool 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 Kanban Tool 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 Kanban Tool to Grok Bot

### Connecting Kanban Tool to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Kanban Tool 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 Kanban Tool
### 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 Kanban Tool account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Kanban Tool or give it any Kanban Tool task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Create cards for new sprint tasks"
- "Move blocked cards to review lane"
- "Summarize overdue Kanban Tool tasks"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Kanban Tool 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 Kanban Tool through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Kanban Tool MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Kanban Tool account. It provides structured and secure access to your boards, workflows, tasks, subtasks, comments, and time tracking details, so your agent can review boards, find tasks, create work, update progress, and manage task lifecycles on your behalf.
- Board and workflow review: Have your agent list available boards and inspect their workflow stages and collaborators before planning or assigning work.
- Task search and details: Instruct your agent to search visible tasks and retrieve their comments, subtasks, attachments, change history, dependencies, and time tracking details.
- Task creation and updates: Let the agent create tasks, place them in the right workflow stage, assign owners, and update estimates, due dates, tags, or external references.
- Subtask and comment management: Direct your agent to add task comments, create or update subtasks, mark subtasks complete, and remove subtasks that are no longer needed.
- Task lifecycle control: Have your agent archive, unarchive, remove, or restore tasks as priorities and project needs change.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `KANBAN_TOOL_ADD_COMMENT` | Add comment | Add a text comment to a task. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_CHANGE_TASK_LIFECYCLE` | Change task lifecycle | Archive, unarchive, soft-delete, or restore a task. Treat this as destructive because soft-delete hides the task from active workflows, although restore can reverse it. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_CREATE_SUBTASK` | Create subtask | Create a subtask under an existing task or create it unattached for later use, with optional assignment and completion state. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_CREATE_TASK` | Create task | Create a task on a board with optional workflow placement, assignment, estimates, due dates, tags, external references, and previously created unattached subtasks. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_DELETE_SUBTASK` | Delete subtask | Soft-delete a subtask and return its tombstone. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_GET_BOARD` | Get board | Fetch a board's workflow configuration and collaborators without loading its full active task collection. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_GET_TASK` | Get task | Fetch a task with its comments, subtasks, attachments, changelog, dependencies, and time trackers. A deleted task is returned as a tombstone with deleted_at set. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_LIST_BOARDS` | List boards | List boards available to the connected Kanban Tool user, including each board's permissions and account feature/tier context. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_SEARCH_TASKS` | Search tasks | Search visible tasks with Kanban Tool query syntax and return one page plus a continuation cursor. Supports board filtering and archived tasks. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_UPDATE_SUBTASK` | Update subtask | Update a subtask's name, assignee, or completion state. |
| `KANBAN_TOOL_UPDATE_TASK` | Update task | Update a task's content, placement, assignment, estimates, dates, tags, or external references. Use CHANGE_TASK_LIFECYCLE to archive, delete, or restore it. |

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that Kanban Tool 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 Kanban Tool MCP?

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

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

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