## 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 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.

## Also integrate Readwise Reader with

- [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/readwise_reader/framework/chatgpt)
- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/readwise_reader/framework/claude-cowork)

## 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 Readwise Reader to Grok Bot

### 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](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 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](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 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.

## 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 Readwise Reader through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

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.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `READWISE_READER_BULK_UPDATE_DOCUMENTS` | Bulk Update Documents | Partially update up to 50 Reader documents in one request and return a success or error result for every document. |
| `READWISE_READER_DELETE_DOCUMENT` | Delete Document | Permanently delete one Reader document by its ID. |
| `READWISE_READER_LIST_DOCUMENTS` | List Documents | List, filter, incrementally sync, or fetch a specific Reader document. Returns one page and a cursor for the next page. |
| `READWISE_READER_LIST_TAGS` | List Tags | List tags in the connected Reader library, returning one page and a cursor for the next page. |
| `READWISE_READER_SAVE_DOCUMENT` | Save Document | Save a URL or supplied HTML as a document in the connected Reader library, with optional metadata, location, and tags. Returns the Reader document ID needed by update and delete tools. |
| `READWISE_READER_UPDATE_DOCUMENT` | Update Document | Partially update supported fields on one Reader document by ID; omitted fields remain unchanged. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Readwise Reader MCP server through Composio to run the actions you authorize, using plain language in the chat.

## Complete Code

## Conclusion

### 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Readwise Reader MCP?

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

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

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