## 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 Vercel AI Gateway 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 Vercel AI Gateway in plain language.

## Also integrate Vercel AI Gateway with

- [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/vercel_ai_gateway/framework/chatgpt)
- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/vercel_ai_gateway/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/vercel_ai_gateway/framework/hermes-agent)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/vercel_ai_gateway/framework/atomic-agent)

## TL;DR

Composio exposes 1,700+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get:
- Connect to 1,700+ 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 Vercel AI Gateway to Grok Bot

### Connecting Vercel AI Gateway to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Vercel AI Gateway 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 Vercel AI Gateway
### 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 Vercel AI Gateway account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Vercel AI Gateway or give it any Vercel AI Gateway task.
For example, ask it to:
- "List available Vercel AI models and specs"
- "Generate marketing copy with Vercel model"
- "Fetch usage metrics for your models"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Vercel AI Gateway 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 Vercel AI Gateway through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the Vercel AI Gateway MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Vercel AI Gateway MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Vercel AI Gateway account. It provides structured and secure access to your model catalog, generation tools, evaluation features, and usage data, so your agent can discover models, generate content, evaluate results, rank information, and monitor spending on your behalf.
- Model discovery and comparison: Have your agent search available models, review capabilities and pricing, and compare providers by availability, throughput, and latency.
- Text and multimodal generation: Let the agent create chat responses, process multimodal prompts, use tools, produce structured output, and compact long conversations into reusable context.
- Image, speech, and audio workflows: Direct your agent to generate or edit images, turn text into spoken audio, and transcribe recorded audio.
- Search relevance and evaluation: Instruct your agent to create embeddings, rerank text or structured documents, count message tokens, and evaluate shared state with choice, score, or boolean questions.
- Usage and cost monitoring: Have your agent check your credit balance, review aggregated spend and token use, and inspect generation costs, routing, latency, and completion details.
