Connectors
Grok Bot connectors
Connectors (xAI calls them apps) let a Bot use services like Gmail, Slack and GitHub through a proper connection instead of clicking around a website. They're also where most of the risk lives: a connected app can write as well as read, and every Bot on your account can use it.
For each connector below: what it can read, what it can write, how risky each side is, the templates in our catalog that name it, and the approval rules to add first.

Counts are listings whose own text or tags name the service. A listing that mentions Gmail may not connect to it, so read the template before you add it.
How to connect an app to Grok Bot
Open Connect apps from the sidebar (on a phone: tap your avatar, then Connect apps), or follow a Connect card a Bot shows in chat.
Find the app and add it.
When asked to Authorize or Authenticate, finish the sign-in in your browser.
Confirm the app shows under Installed, then type @ in a chat to attach it to a task.
True of every connector
- An app can only do what the account you authorise can already do. It can't raise your access or change sharing.
- A connected app is available to every Bot on your account, not just the one you set it up for.
- Login tokens for connected apps stay on Cursor's connector backend; the Bot uses the app's tools without receiving them.
- Added means installed, not signed in. Check the app's status in Connect apps if a Bot says it's missing.
- Approvals raised by routines expire after about 30 minutes, so an Ask first rule also stops unattended actions.

Questions people ask
What are Grok Bot connectors?
Connectors, which xAI calls apps, give a Bot a structured way to use a service such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion or Slack. You add them from Connect apps and sign in to the service. They're more reliable than having the Bot click through a website, and they can usually write as well as read.

Does a connector work for all my Bots?
Yes. A connected app is available to every Bot on your account, not only the one you connected it for. If a Bot shouldn't use an account, disconnect that app. A teammate's shared Bot is the exception: it asks before using your personal accounts.

Do templates connect my accounts for me?
No. A template can list the first-party plugins it uses, but your copy has to reinstall them and you sign in yourself. Templates never carry the creator's logins, API keys or custom MCP servers. That's the moment to decide whether the job really needs each account.
