## 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 Mx toolbox 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 Mx toolbox 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 Mx toolbox to Grok Bot

### Connecting Mx toolbox to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Mx toolbox 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 Mx toolbox
### 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 Mx toolbox account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Mx toolbox or give it any Mx toolbox task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Check if your domain is blacklisted"
- "Get current MX records for example.com"
- "Run a ping test on our mail server"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Mx toolbox 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 Mx toolbox through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Mx toolbox MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mx toolbox account. It provides structured and secure access to network diagnostic and email health tools, so your agent can perform actions like DNS lookups, blacklist checks, email authentication analysis, and connectivity testing on your behalf.
- Automated DNS and MX record lookups: Instantly retrieve DNS, MX, DKIM, DMARC, and MTA-STS records for any domain to verify configuration and troubleshoot email delivery issues.
- Blacklist monitoring and alerting: Check if your domain or IP is listed on common blacklists, helping you stay ahead of email deliverability problems and security risks.
- Email authentication validation: Validate BIMI, DKIM, and DMARC records to ensure your domain's outgoing emails are properly authenticated and protected against spoofing.
- Network and SMTP diagnostics: Run ping, HTTP, and SMTP lookups to diagnose connectivity issues, measure latency, or assess mail server responsiveness—no manual testing required.
- Brand and security checks: Use BIMI and MTA-STS lookups to confirm your brand indicators and mail transport security policies are correctly published and compliant.

## Supported Tools

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that Mx toolbox 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 Mx toolbox MCP?

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

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

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