This guide explains how to connect Ollama 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 Ollama in plain language. ## Also integrate Ollama with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/claude-code) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/cursor) - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/chatgpt) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/claude-cowork) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/kimi) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/grok-build) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/atomic-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/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 Ollama to Grok Bot ### Connecting Ollama to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Ollama 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 Ollama ### 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 Ollama account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Ollama or give it any Ollama task. For example, ask it to: - "Run a custom prompt with llama2" - "Get model info for all installed models" - "Generate a text completion using mistral" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Ollama 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 Ollama through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Ollama MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Ollama MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ollama account. It provides structured and secure access to your Ollama models, so your agent can chat with models, generate text, list available models, inspect model details, and create compatible chat or text completions on your behalf. - Model conversations: Have your agent send chat messages with conversation history to an Ollama model for contextual responses. - Text generation: Direct your agent to generate text with an available Ollama model, including output in raw mode when needed. - Model discovery: Let the agent list your available Ollama models and review their details. - Model information: Instruct your agent to retrieve information about a specific Ollama model. - Compatible completions: Have your agent create OpenAI-compatible chat or text completions using Ollama models. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `OLLAMA_CHAT` | Chat with Ollama model | Tool to send a chat message with conversation history to Ollama. Use when you need to have a multi-turn conversation with an LLM model. | | `OLLAMA_GENERATE` | Generate Text with Ollama | Tool to generate text responses from Ollama models with optional raw mode. Use raw=true to bypass prompt templating when you need full control over the prompt for debugging or custom processing. Note that raw mode will not return a context. | | `OLLAMA_LIST_MODELS` | List Models | Tool to list all available Ollama models and their details. Use when you need to fetch installed models with metadata including name, size, last modified timestamp, digest, and format information. | | `OLLAMA_OPEN_AI_CHAT_COMPLETIONS` | OpenAI-Compatible Chat Completion | Tool to create OpenAI-compatible chat completions using Ollama models. Use when you need conversational AI responses with OpenAI API format compatibility. | | `OLLAMA_OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_TEXT_COMPLETION` | OpenAI-Compatible Text Completion | Tool to create OpenAI-compatible text completions using Ollama models. Use when you need text generation with OpenAI API format compatibility beyond chat-based interactions. | | `OLLAMA_LIST_MODELS_OPENAI_COMPATIBLE` | List Models (OpenAI Compatible) | Tool to list available models using OpenAI-compatible API format. Use when you need to retrieve locally available Ollama models with metadata following OpenAI's model list format. | | `OLLAMA_SHOW_MODEL_INFORMATION` | Show Model Information | Tool to show comprehensive information about an Ollama model. Use when you need to retrieve model details, parameters, template, license, or system prompt. | | `OLLAMA_GET_OLLAMA_VERSION` | Get Ollama Version | Tool to get the version of Ollama running locally. Use to check which version of Ollama is currently installed. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Ollama MCP server through Composio to run the actions you authorize, using plain language in the chat. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Ollama 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. ## How to build Ollama MCP Agent with another framework - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/claude-code) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/cursor) - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/chatgpt) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/claude-cowork) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/kimi) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/grok-build) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/atomic-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ollama/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Composio](https://composio.dev/toolkits/composio) - Composio is an integration platform that connects AI agents with hundreds of business tools.

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