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. ## Also integrate Perigon with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perigon/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 Perigon to Grok Bot ### 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](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 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](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 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. ## 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 Perigon through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Perigon MCP server, and what's possible with it? 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. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `PERIGON_GET_ARTICLES` | Get News Articles | Tool to retrieve a list of news articles based on filters. Use when keywords, sources, or date ranges are specified. | | `PERIGON_GET_COMPANIES` | Get Companies | Tool to retrieve information on companies in Perigon’s entity database.

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