How to connect Perigon to Grok Bot

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 Perigon 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 Perigon in plain language.

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.

Connecting Perigon to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Perigon 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 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 Perigon

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

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 Perigon account

Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Perigon or give it any Perigon task.

For example, ask it to:

• "Get top technology news headlines today"
• "Summarize recent articles about climate change"
• "Find news on major stock market events"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Perigon account is ready to use.

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 Perigon through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

The Perigon MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Perigon account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time news and web content data, so your agent can perform actions like searching news articles, aggregating trending stories, extracting web data, and analyzing news sentiment on your behalf.

• Comprehensive news article search: Empower your agent to search and retrieve news articles from global sources using filters like date, topic, publisher, or region.
• Real-time trending stories aggregation: Automatically gather and summarize the latest trending news across categories such as politics, technology, finance, and more.
• Web content extraction: Let your agent pull structured data from online articles and websites, making it easy to analyze or repurpose content.
• News sentiment and topic analysis: Enable your agent to analyze the sentiment and topical coverage of news stories to provide actionable insights or reports.
• Customized news monitoring: Set up continuous monitoring for specific keywords, companies, or industries, so your agent can keep you updated with relevant news as it happens.

Way Forward

Now that Perigon 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.
