## 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 Viator 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 Viator in plain language.

## Also integrate Viator MCP with

- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/viator_mcp/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 Viator MCP to Grok Bot

### Connecting Viator to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Viator 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 Viator
### 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 Viator account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Viator or give it any Viator task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Find Paris food tours this weekend"
- "Compare Rome Colosseum skip-the-line experiences"
- "Book snorkeling activities in Cancun"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Viator 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 Viator through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Viator MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to Viator. It provides structured and secure access to tours, activities, and travel experience details, so your agent can search experiences, refine results, compare options, review pricing, and inspect key features on your behalf.
- Destination and activity search: Have your agent find tours and activities using a destination, activity type, preferences, and trip dates.
- Budget and duration refinement: Let the agent narrow experience results based on your preferred budget and available time.
- Experience comparison: Direct your agent to compare relevant options by price, duration, highlights, and key features.
- Detailed experience research: Instruct your agent to retrieve descriptions, highlights, imagery, pricing, duration, and key features for a specific experience.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `VIATOR_MCP_GET_EXPERIENCE_DETAILS` | Get experience details | Retrieves enriched information for a specific Viator experience, including detailed descriptions, highlights, imagery, pricing, duration, key features, and the click-out URL.The model should call this tool only when the user clearly refers to a specific experience—either by selecting it in the UI or by asking follow-up questions such as “Tell me more about…”;if multiple experiences were shown, the model must resolve ambiguity by asking which one the user means. This tool is intended for deepening experience understanding rather than search, and should only be invoked with a code previously returned by search_experiences. |
| `VIATOR_MCP_SEARCH_EXPERIENCES` | Search experiences | Retrieves a curated list of Viator experiences based on a free-text search of what the user wants (destination, activity type, and preferences), plus trip dates and optional refiners (budget, duration, etc.). The model must supply a non-blank searchTerm as natural language describing where and what the user is looking for (e.g. "walking tours in Paris, France", "kid friendly food experiences in Rome"). Dates, prices, duration limits, and currency belong in their dedicated parameters—not inside searchTerm. The model must provide searchTerm and dates before calling this tool. The model may re-issue a refined searchExperiences call whenever the user adds, removes, or adjusts refinement criteria (e.g., kid-friendly, price range, shorter duration) to narrow or improve the results. If the tool returns zero results, the model must proactively guide the user toward a successful refinement. It should review the parameters used in the failed request and recommend the most appropriate based on the proposed logic:" If > 1 categories applied, suggest removing some categories. Eg: “It looks like those categories combined are too restrictive. Would you like to narrow it down?” If the query requests a specific feature (eg private tour), suggest removing this constraint. Eg: “Private tours may be limited in this area, would you like to consider group options too?” If duration (avg from/to) > XX, suggest trying a shorter duration. If duration (avg from/to) < XX, suggest trying a longer duration. If price constraint was applied, suggest widening (or removing) price limits. Else, suggest broaden location search. Eg: “Nothing matches in central Siena, should we try Tuscany or nearby towns?” |

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

Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Viator 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 Viator 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 Viator MCP?

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

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

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