How to connect Readwise Reader 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 Readwise Reader 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 Readwise Reader 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 Readwise Reader to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Readwise Reader 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 Readwise Reader

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 Readwise Reader account

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

For example, ask it to:

• "Save research article to Reader inbox"
• "List unread documents tagged machine learning"
• "Archive finished documents in Reader library"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Readwise Reader 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 Readwise Reader through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

The Readwise Reader MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Readwise Reader account. It provides structured and secure access to your document library, so your agent can save, find, organize, update, and delete documents on your behalf.

• Save content for later: Have your agent save a web page or supplied HTML to your library, with optional details, a reading location, and tags.
• Find library documents: Instruct your agent to list and filter saved documents or fetch a specific document from your library.
• Organize with tags: Let the agent review the tags in your library and apply relevant tags when saving or updating documents.
• Update documents: Direct your agent to change supported details on one document or update up to 50 documents at once.
• Remove unwanted documents: Have your agent permanently delete a document you no longer want in your Reader library.

Way Forward

Now that Readwise Reader 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.
