This guide explains how to connect Updown io 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 Updown io in plain language. ## Also integrate Updown io with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/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 Updown io to Grok Bot ### Connecting Updown io to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Updown io 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 Updown io ### 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 Updown io account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Updown io or give it any Updown io task. For example, ask it to: - "Show all updown.io monitoring server IPs" - "List current updown.io IPv4 addresses" - "Get available updown.io IPv6 monitoring nodes" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Updown io 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 Updown io through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Updown io MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Updown io MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Updown io account. It provides structured and secure access to your website monitoring configuration, so your agent can perform actions like listing monitoring nodes, retrieving IPv4 and IPv6 server addresses, and helping you manage network allowlists on your behalf. - Retrieve all monitoring server nodes: Instantly get a complete list of updown.io monitoring servers available for tracking your websites and APIs. - List server IPv4 addresses: Easily fetch the current set of updown.io node IPv4 addresses to update firewalls or allowlists for secure monitoring. - Enumerate IPv6 monitoring nodes: Let your agent provide all available updown.io IPv6 addresses, ensuring your systems can support modern networking standards. - Get comprehensive IP allowlist info: Ask your agent to supply all updown.io server IPs—both IPv4 and IPv6—so you can configure network rules with confidence. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `UPDOWN_IO_LIST_CHECKS` | List All Checks | Tool to retrieve all monitoring checks on your updown.io account. Use when you need to view all configured checks including their status, uptime, and settings. | | `UPDOWN_IO_LIST_NODE_IPS` | List Node IPs | Tool to retrieve a list of all updown.io server IP addresses. Use when configuring firewalls or IP allowlists to permit updown.io monitoring. | | `UPDOWN_IO_LIST_NODE_IPV4` | List node IPv4 addresses | Tool to list all updown.io server IPv4 addresses. Use when you need to retrieve the current set of updown.io node IPv4 addresses. | | `UPDOWN_IO_LIST_NODE_IPV6` | List IPv6 nodes | Tool to retrieve a list of all updown.io server IPv6 addresses. Use when you need to enumerate available IPv6 monitoring nodes. | | `UPDOWN_IO_LIST_NODES` | List Monitoring Nodes | Tool to retrieve a list of all updown.io monitoring servers. Use when you need to discover available monitoring nodes. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Updown io MCP server through Composio to run the actions you authorize, using plain language in the chat. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Updown io 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. ## How to build Updown io MCP Agent with another framework - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/updown_io/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Supabase](https://composio.dev/toolkits/supabase) - Supabase is an open-source backend platform offering scalable Postgres databases, authentication, storage, and real-time APIs.

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