How to connect Grok to Claude Cowork

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Grok account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate launch copy with Grok models, analyze product screenshots using Grok vision, create Grok embeddings for support articles, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Connecting Grok to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Grok account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Grok or give it any Grok-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Generate launch copy with Grok models"
  • "Analyze product screenshots using Grok vision"
  • "Create Grok embeddings for support articles"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Grok account is ready to use.

What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Grok through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Grok MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Grok account. It provides structured and secure access to Grok's text, image, video, embedding, model, and account capabilities, so your agent can generate responses, create media, produce embeddings, browse available models, and verify account access on your behalf.

  • Text and multimodal responses: Have your agent generate focused responses from text or structured multimodal input, with optional reasoning and search.
  • Image creation: Direct your agent to create one or more images from a detailed text prompt using an available Grok image model.
  • Video generation and tracking: Let the agent start a video from a text prompt, optionally use an image as context, and check its progress later.
  • Text embeddings: Instruct your agent to turn one or more text inputs into vector embeddings for search, matching, or classification tasks.
  • Model and account checks: Have your agent review available models and pricing details, verify the connected account, and inspect API key permissions or blocking status.
TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Grok action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Create Embeddings

Create vector embeddings for one or more text inputs with an xAI embedding model.

Create Response

Generate a bounded, non-streaming Grok response from text or structured multimodal input, with optional reasoning, search, and function or web-search tools.

Generate Image

Generate one or more images from a text prompt with an xAI image-generation model.

Generate Video

Start asynchronous xAI video generation from a text prompt, optionally conditioned on an image, and return a request ID for status checks.

Get API Key Info

Inspect the connected xAI API key's identity, wildcard or granular ACLs, and key or team blocking state.

Get Current Account

Verify the connected xAI credential and return the caller, team, zero-data-retention status, and key blocking state.

Get Video

Check an asynchronous xAI video request.

List Models

List models available to the connected xAI key, including model IDs and published pricing metadata needed to choose a model for other tools.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Grok MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Grok tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Grok and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork 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 Grok tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Grok 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.

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 Grok data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
