This guide explains how to connect Maintainx 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 Maintainx in plain language. ## Also integrate Maintainx with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/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 Maintainx to Grok Bot ### Connecting Maintainx to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Maintainx 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 Maintainx ### 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 Maintainx account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Maintainx or give it any Maintainx task. For example, ask it to: - "Create a new urgent work order for HVAC" - "List all open work orders at warehouse" - "Add comment to work order 12345" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Maintainx 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 Maintainx through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Maintainx MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Maintainx MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Maintainx account. It provides structured and secure access to your maintenance operations, so your agent can create work orders, update existing tasks, manage assets, and keep your teams aligned—automatically and on your behalf. - Work order creation and management: Instantly have your agent create new work orders, add detailed descriptions, set priorities, and assign them to the right teams or users. - Automated work order updates and comments: Let your agent update existing work orders or add comments for documentation and real-time communication between team members. - Asset and location tracking: Effortlessly list and retrieve all assets and locations across your organization, helping you keep maintenance data organized and accessible. - Category and team organization: Enable your agent to fetch and manage categories or teams, ensuring work orders and assets are classified and assigned correctly. - Smart work request portals: Have your agent generate custom work request portals so stakeholders can submit maintenance requests easily and securely. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `MAINTAINX_CREATE_CATEGORY` | Create Category | Tool to create a new category in MaintainX for organizing work orders, assets, and other items.

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 Maintainx MCP Agent with another framework - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [0CodeKit](https://composio.dev/toolkits/0codekit) - 0CodeKit is a utility API platform for AI, document, image, and data workflows.

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