## 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 ZipRecruiter 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 ZipRecruiter in plain language.

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

### Connecting ZipRecruiter to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect ZipRecruiter 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 ZipRecruiter
### 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 ZipRecruiter account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to ZipRecruiter or give it any ZipRecruiter task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Find remote software jobs near Austin"
- "Compare salaries for data analyst roles"
- "Search entry-level marketing jobs in Chicago"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your ZipRecruiter 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 ZipRecruiter through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The ZipRecruiter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to ZipRecruiter. It provides structured and secure access to job listings across ZipRecruiter's marketplace, so your agent can search, browse, find, and recommend relevant opportunities on your behalf.
- Role-based job search: Have your agent find job listings that match a specific title, profession, or area of expertise.
- Location-focused opportunities: Direct your agent to search for openings in a preferred city, region, or other location.
- Salary-based discovery: Instruct your agent to look for roles that meet your salary requirements.
- Internship and gig searches: Let the agent find internships, gigs, and other types of work that fit your request.
- Personalized job recommendations: Have your agent recommend relevant listings based on your preferred role, location, and salary.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ZIPRECRUITER_MCP_SEARCH_JOBS` | Search jobs | Use this tool whenever the user asks to find, browse, view, recommend, or search for jobs, roles, openings, gigs, internships, or job listings. It only shows jobs that are within the United States or Canada. Guidelines: - Do not provide fields unless the user explicitly provides them. - The tool provides the search results all in one list, so if the user intends to search for multiple job roles, it may be better to invoke the tool for each job role separately. - If the user has not provided a location and is not asking for remote jobs, ask the user for a location before calling this tool. If you call without a location, results will default to a United States-wide search and the user will be warned. Notes: - When provided radius_miles, jobs will be included in the result if their location's boundaries approximately fall within radius miles of the requested location's boundaries. - If a salary range is provided, a job will be included in the results if the job's salary range overlaps with the requested salary range. |

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

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

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that ZipRecruiter 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 ZipRecruiter MCP?

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

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

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