Is infioo a built-in Grok connector?

No. infioo isn't one of Grok's built-in connectors, and xAI hasn't published a way for outside companies to be listed, so Custom is the way in: New Connector, then Custom, then paste the URL. A listing wouldn't change the connection: same sign-in, same permissions, same tools.

Does Grok support custom MCP servers?

Yes. Grok's Bring Your Own MCP lets you add any MCP server reachable on the public internet: grok.com/connectors, then New Connector, then Custom. infioo publishes one at https://infioo.ai/api/mcp.

What can Grok do with my infioo account?

Thirteen read tools covering the daily brief, contacts, conversations, schedule, invoices, tasks and the knowledge base, plus five writes: create a task, create a contact, tag a contact, draft a reply, mark an appointment complete. Marking an appointment complete can't be undone, and it can start your usual thank-you and review request under your own approval settings, just as it does in the app.

Can Grok text my customers or send an invoice?

No. Sending a message, and anything that creates, sends or syncs an invoice, is not exposed to any chat connector. A drafted reply waits in your inbox behind the Approve button.

Do I need a paid Grok plan?

Probably not: Grok's connectors documentation says connectors are available to all Grok users, and lists Custom MCP as one of its three kinds of connector. Some third-party guides still say paid tiers, so if Custom is missing on your account, check your plan. Business and Enterprise organisations need a team admin to provision the connector in the cloud console first. Those lines are xAI's to set, so check their connectors documentation.

Can I try it before signing up for infioo?

Yes. Add https://infioo.ai/api/mcp/demo instead - no account, no email, read-only, fictional plumbing business.

How do I disconnect it?

Disconnect it in infioo under Settings -> Connections -> Connected assistants: it stops working on its next request, and Grok would have to ask you to sign in again. Removing the connector in Grok is tidy too, but it doesn't reliably tell infioo, so disconnect it on our side to be sure.

INFIOO in Grok: Bring Your Own MCP for Your CRM

Q: Does the server have to be publicly reachable?

It already is. Grok reaches a custom connector over the public internet rather than from your phone, and infioo.ai is hosted - no tunnel, nothing to self-host.

Bring your own MCP, bring your own business

Grok will take any Model Context Protocol server reachable on the public internet. We did not write a Grok integration - we wrote one standards-compliant MCP server and let every client that speaks the protocol come and get it.

Which suits an owner-operator, because you are not at a desk. You are under a sink or in a van, and the phone is what you have.

"What needs me today?"Late money, unanswered messages, the jobs actually on today.

"Who owes me, and how long?"Oldest first, with amounts, off the ledger.

"Catch me up on the Whitmore job before I knock."Conversation, appointments and invoice in one breath.

"Task: order the flange before Friday."A real task in the real CRM, not a line in a chat you will lose.

How to connect it: five steps

Copy this URL:

https://infioo.ai/api/mcp

Go to grok.com/connectors and sign in.
Choose New Connector, then Custom - the right choice, since infioo is not one of the built-ins.
Paste the URL as the MCP server URL.
If Grok asks how to authenticate, choose OAuth and leave any client ID or secret empty. Then complete the sign-in: you choose which business and which permissions, then approve.
Ask "what needs me today?" If your real brief comes back, you are done.

Nothing else to paste: you sign in to infioo when Grok asks. Leave any client ID, client secret or advanced OAuth fields empty - infioo issues no client secret, and the sign-in does not need one.

Grok then reads the tool list off the server itself - nothing to configure tool by tool. No install, no hosting, no tunnel: Grok reaches a custom connector over the public internet rather than from your phone, and infioo.ai is already there. On Business or Enterprise, a team admin provisions the same URL in the cloud console first, then everyone signs in as themselves.

Try it first, with no account

Use this URL at step 3 instead. There's no infioo sign-in for the demo; if Grok asks how to authenticate, choose none.

https://infioo.ai/api/mcp/demo

No sign-in, no email, nothing to cancel - a fictional plumbing company carrying a normal week's mess. Read-only, and Grok is told the data is invented as soon as it connects.

Drafting is not sending. A reply Grok writes becomes a pending draft behind the Approve button already in your inbox. And the right-hand column is not a setting - those tools are absent from the connector, each with its reason recorded in code and a test that fails if one sneaks back. There is a daily write ceiling per business too, so a confused loop cannot run away with your records.

Permissions, and who may grant them

On the sign-in screen you grant from three permissions - read, write, approve - and your role caps what you may hand over, so plugging in an assistant is never a way to gain access you did not have. Owners and managers may grant all three; staff cannot grant approve; an accountant can grant nothing.

When you connect by signing in, access tokens last fifteen minutes, refresh tokens rotate, and your role is re-checked on every call against live membership - so a change in infioo narrows the connection on the next question.

When Grok calls an infioo tool, the answer - customer names, messages, amounts - goes to the company that runs Grok (formerly xAI; its own pages now say SpaceXAI and SpaceXSI) and becomes part of that chat, kept under its terms and your settings there. infioo doesn't copy your records anywhere else.

Honest limits

We haven't tested infioo end to end in Grok yet. The server follows the published MCP specification and Grok's documented connector setup, so it should work. If it trips, tell us at hello@infioo.com.

Booking and invoice proposals are not offered from chat yet. Both belong in the owner's approval queue, which today assumes a pending item came from one of your agents - so a proposal from a chat connector would fail the moment you pressed Approve. That code guards real money, so it changes carefully or not at all.

Grok's connector surface is newer than Claude's or ChatGPT's, and xAI moves the UI and the plan lines. The server is built to the published MCP specification rather than to any one client's quirks.
