## 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 NamSor 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 NamSor 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 NamSor to Grok Bot

### Connecting NamSor to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect NamSor 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 NamSor
### 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 NamSor account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to NamSor or give it any NamSor task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Classify customer names by likely origin"
- "Infer gender from conference attendee names"
- "Parse full names into name parts"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your NamSor 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 NamSor through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The NamSor MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your NamSor account. It provides structured and secure access to personal name classification and enrichment, so your agent can parse names, infer gender, identify likely origins, classify diaspora, and estimate residence countries on your behalf.
- Personal name parsing: Have your agent split full personal names into likely first-name and last-name components.
- Gender and origin classification: Let the agent infer likely gender, countries of origin, and regions of origin from first-and-last names.
- Diaspora and residence insights: Direct your agent to classify likely diaspora or ethnicity within a known country, or estimate likely countries and regions of residence.
- Proper noun classification: Instruct your agent to determine whether proper nouns are likely personal names, brands, places, or other supported types.
- Account usage monitoring: Have your agent check your NamSor plan, quota, current billing-period usage, limits, and overage summary without exposing your API key.

## Supported Tools

| `NAMSOR_CLASSIFY_PROPER_NOUN_TYPE` | Classify Proper-Noun Type | Classify one or more proper nouns as likely personal names, brand names, place names, or other NamSor types. Accepts 1-100 values and costs about 1 credit each. |
| `NAMSOR_CLASSIFY_RESIDENCE_COUNTRY` | Classify Residence Country | Infer likely countries and region of residence for one or more full personal names. Accepts 1-100 names and uses 10 NamSor credits per name; this differs from country of origin. |
| `NAMSOR_GET_ACCOUNT_USAGE` | Get Account Usage | Return the connected NamSor account's plan, quota, current billing-period usage, limits, and overage summary without exposing its API key. |
| `NAMSOR_PARSE_NAMES` | Parse Personal Names | Parse one or more full personal names into likely first-name and last-name components. Accepts 1-100 names and costs about 1 NamSor credit per name. |

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that NamSor 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 NamSor MCP?

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

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

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