This guide explains how to connect Kanbanize 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 Kanbanize in plain language. ## Also integrate Kanbanize with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/autogen) ## 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 Kanbanize to Grok Bot ### Connecting Kanbanize to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Kanbanize 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 Kanbanize ### 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 Kanbanize account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Kanbanize or give it any Kanbanize task. For example, ask it to: - "Move all 'In Progress' cards to 'Done'" - "Create a Kanban card for new feature request" - "List all overdue tasks in your boards" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Kanbanize 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 Kanbanize through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Kanbanize MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Kanbanize MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Kanbanize account. It provides structured and secure access to your boards, cards, workflows, milestones, columns, and custom fields, so your agent can add card comments, check board milestones, review columns, retrieve custom fields, and delete workflows on your behalf. - Card collaboration: Have your agent add comments to cards to share updates, feedback, or next steps with your team. - Milestone checks: Let the agent check whether a milestone is available on a selected board before planning related work. - Board column review: Instruct your agent to list the columns on a board so you can understand its current work stages. - Custom field discovery: Direct your agent to retrieve and filter custom fields used to organize work in Kanbanize. - Workflow cleanup: Have your agent delete an unwanted workflow from a selected board when it is no longer needed. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `KANBANIZE_ADD_CARD_COMMENT` | Add a comment to a card | Tool to add a comment to a Kanbanize card.

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. ## How to build Kanbanize MCP Agent with another framework - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kanbanize/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

With a standalone Kanbanize MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Kanbanize tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Kanbanize 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 Kanbanize tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Kanbanize while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Kanbanize 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 Kanbanize data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
