## Introduction

### How to integrate Replicate MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Replicate account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can run Stable Diffusion to generate an image, list all your uploaded files on Replicate, get README documentation for a model, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Replicate integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Replicate to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Replicate account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Replicate to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

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

The Replicate MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Replicate account. It provides structured and secure access to your Replicate resources, so your agent can perform actions like running AI model predictions, managing files, browsing model collections, and retrieving model documentation on your behalf.
- Run and manage AI model predictions: Easily instruct your agent to create, monitor, and manage predictions on any deployed Replicate model using custom input parameters.
- Browse and discover model collections: Ask your agent to fetch and list available model collections or retrieve example predictions to explore what’s possible on Replicate.
- Upload and organize files: Let your agent upload new files, list all stored files, or inspect file details to streamline your model workflows.
- Access model metadata and documentation: Retrieve full model details, schemas, and markdown README docs for any model to help you choose and utilize the right model for your tasks.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `REPLICATE_ACCOUNT_GET` | Get Account Information | Tool to get authenticated account information. Use when you need to retrieve details about the account associated with the API token. |
| `REPLICATE_CANCEL_PREDICTION` | Cancel Prediction | Tool to cancel a prediction that is still running. Use when you need to stop an in-progress prediction to free up resources or halt execution. |
| `REPLICATE_COLLECTIONS_GET` | Get model collection | Tool to get a specific collection of models by its slug. Use when you need detailed information about a collection and its models. |
| `REPLICATE_COLLECTIONS_LIST` | List model collections | Tool to list all collections of models. Use when you need to retrieve available model collections. Collections are curated groupings of related models. Response includes only collection metadata (name, slug, description), not individual models within each collection; use REPLICATE_MODELS_GET for per-model details. Response may include a non-null `next` field indicating additional pages; follow it to enumerate all collections. |
| `REPLICATE_CREATE_MODEL` | Create Model | Tool to create a new Replicate model with specified owner, name, visibility, and hardware. Use when you need to create a destination model before launching LoRA/fine-tune training. |
| `REPLICATE_CREATE_PREDICTION` | Create Prediction | Tool to create a prediction for a Replicate Deployment. IMPORTANT: This action ONLY works with Replicate Deployments (persistent instances you create and manage), NOT public models. Deployments are created via REPLICATE_DEPLOYMENTS_CREATE. To run public models (e.g., 'meta/llama-2-70b-chat', 'stability-ai/sdxl'), use REPLICATE_MODELS_PREDICTIONS_CREATE instead. Use 'wait_for' to wait until the prediction completes. |
| `REPLICATE_DEPLOYMENTS_CREATE` | Create Deployment | Tool to create a new deployment with specified model, version, hardware, and scaling parameters. Use when you need to deploy a model for production use with auto-scaling. |
| `REPLICATE_DEPLOYMENTS_DELETE` | Delete Deployment | Tool to delete a deployment from your account. Use when you need to remove a deployment. Deployments must be offline and unused for at least 15 minutes before deletion. |
| `REPLICATE_DEPLOYMENTS_GET` | Get Deployment Details | Tool to get deployment details by owner and name. Use when you need information about a specific deployment including its release configuration and hardware settings. |
| `REPLICATE_DEPLOYMENTS_LIST` | List deployments | Tool to list all deployments associated with the account. Use when you need to retrieve deployment configurations and their latest releases. |
| `REPLICATE_CREATE_FILE` | Create File | Tool to create or upload a file to Replicate. Use when you need to upload file content with optional metadata. |
| `REPLICATE_FILES_DELETE` | Delete File | Tool to delete a file by its ID. Use when you need to remove a file from storage. Returns 204 No Content on success. |
| `REPLICATE_FILES_GET` | Get File Details | Tool to get details of a file by its ID. Use when you need to inspect uploaded file information before further operations. Returned URLs may be short-lived; download or persist needed files promptly after retrieval. |
| `REPLICATE_FILES_LIST` | List Files | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of uploaded files. Use to view all files created by the authenticated user or organization. Files are sorted with most recent first. Pagination is cursor-based: follow the next cursor until empty to retrieve all files. Limit requests to 1–2/second to avoid 429 Too Many Requests errors. Use to validate current file_ids before passing to prediction tools, as stale file_ids cause runtime errors. |
| `REPLICATE_GET_PREDICTION` | Get Prediction | Tool to get the status and output of a prediction by its ID. Use when you need to check on a running prediction or retrieve the results of a completed prediction. |
| `REPLICATE_HARDWARE_LIST` | List Available Hardware | Tool to list available hardware SKUs for models and deployments. Use when you need to see what hardware options are available on the Replicate platform. |
| `REPLICATE_MODELS_EXAMPLES_LIST` | List model examples | Tool to list example predictions for a specific model. Use when you want to retrieve author-provided illustrative examples after identifying the model. Returned examples are minimal working payloads; cross-reference with REPLICATE_MODELS_README_GET before calling REPLICATE_CREATE_PREDICTION to satisfy strict input validation. |
| `REPLICATE_MODELS_GET` | Get Model Details | Tool to get details of a specific model by owner and name. Consult the returned input schema before constructing any prediction request — each model defines its own required/optional fields (e.g., `prompt`, `aspect_ratio`, `version`); missing or unknown keys cause validation errors. Model schemas and available versions may change over time; recheck before production use. |
| `REPLICATE_MODELS_LIST` | List Public Models | Tool to list public models with pagination and sorting. Use when you need to browse available models or find models sorted by creation date. |
| `REPLICATE_MODELS_PREDICTIONS_CREATE` | Create Model Prediction | Tool to create a prediction using an official Replicate model. Use when you need to run inference with a specific model using its owner and name. Supports synchronous waiting (up to 60 seconds) and webhooks for async notifications. |
| `REPLICATE_MODELS_README_GET` | Get Model README | Tool to get the README content for a model in Markdown format. Consult alongside REPLICATE_MODELS_EXAMPLES_LIST before calling REPLICATE_CREATE_PREDICTION — Replicate enforces strict JSON schemas on model inputs and returns 422 errors for incorrect keys or types. Use after retrieving model details when you want to view its documentation. |
| `REPLICATE_MODELS_VERSIONS_GET` | Get Model Version | Tool to get a specific version of a model. Use when you need details about a particular model version including its schema and metadata. |
| `REPLICATE_MODELS_VERSIONS_LIST` | List Model Versions | Tool to list all versions of a specific model. Use when you need to see all available versions of a model, sorted by newest first. |
| `REPLICATE_CREATE_PREDICTION` | Create Prediction | Tool to create a prediction to run a model by version ID. Use when you have a specific model version identifier and need to run inference with provided inputs. Supports synchronous waiting and webhook notifications. |
| `REPLICATE_PREDICTIONS_LIST` | List All Predictions | Tool to list all predictions for the authenticated user or organization with pagination. Use when you need to retrieve prediction history or filter predictions by creation date. |
| `REPLICATE_SEARCH` | Search Models and Collections | Tool to search for models, collections, and docs using text queries (beta). Use when you need to find relevant models or collections based on keywords or descriptions. |
| `REPLICATE_TRAININGS_CANCEL` | Cancel Training | Tool to cancel an ongoing training operation in Replicate. Use when you need to stop a training job that is in progress. |
| `REPLICATE_TRAININGS_CREATE` | Create Training Job | Tool to create a training job for a specific model version. Use when you need to fine-tune a model with custom training data. Supports webhook notifications for training status updates. |
| `REPLICATE_TRAININGS_LIST` | List Training Jobs | Tool to list all training jobs for the authenticated user or organization with pagination. Use when you need to retrieve training history or check the status of training jobs. |
| `REPLICATE_UPDATE_MODELS` | Update Model Metadata | Tool to update metadata for a model including description, URLs, and README. Use when you need to modify a model's visibility, documentation, or associated links. |
| `REPLICATE_WEBHOOKS_SECRET_GET` | Get Webhook Signing Secret | Tool to get the signing secret for the default webhook. Use when you need to retrieve the secret key used to verify webhook authenticity. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Replicate MCP server?

A standalone Replicate MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Replicate tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Replicate and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Replicate data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Replicate data and credentials are handled to that standard.
