Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for the xAI Grok API — chat, vision, search, and embeddings

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: –
  • Transport:
  • Category: Chat & email

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

The maker has not listed install details in the registry. See the maker’s README below.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Grok Chat safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.

What can I use instead?

mcp-server-grok-chat

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the xAI Grok API. Built in Rust, exposes chat completions, vision, web/X search, embeddings, and model listing as MCP tools.

Communicates via stdio using JSON-RPC 2.0, like all MCP servers.

Tools

ToolDescription
chatSend a chat completion request to Grok with optional multi-turn history, system prompt, structured output (JSON schema), model selection, and multi-agent research
chat_with_visionAnalyse an image with Grok's vision capabilities given an image URL and text prompt
chat_with_searchChat with Grok using live web search and/or X (Twitter) search to ground responses
embeddingGenerate text embeddings using Grok's embedding model
list_modelsList all available Grok models and their IDs (cached for 5 minutes)
chat

Send a chat completion request. Supports multi-turn conversations via a JSON message history array, system prompts, structured output via JSON schema, temperature control, model selection, and multi-agent research.

When using a multi-agent model (any model ID containing multi-agent), the request is automatically routed through the Responses API. The multi-agent model dispatches your query to multiple agents that research in parallel, then synthesizes their findings. Use reasoning_effort to control agent count. Call the list_models tool to see which multi-agent models are currently available.

Parameters:

NameTypeRequiredDescription
promptstringyesThe user message to send
modelstringnoModel ID (default: grok-4.3). Call list_models for the current set.
system_promptstringnoSystem prompt to set context
messagesstringnoFull conversation history as JSON array of {role, content} objects
temperaturefloatnoSampling temperature (0.0 - 2.0)
max_tokensintegernoMaximum tokens to generate
response_schemastringnoJSON schema string to enforce structured output
reasoning_effortstringnoOn grok-4.3: low/medium/high controls native reasoning depth. On multi-agent models: low/medium = 4 agents, high/xhigh = 16 agents (xhigh is multi-agent-only).
chat_with_vision

Analyse an image using Grok's vision capabilities.

Parameters:

NameTypeRequiredDescription
promptstringyesText prompt describing what to analyse
image_urlstringyesURL of the image (must be http:// or https://)
modelstringnoModel ID (default: grok-4.3). Must be a vision-capable model. Call list_models for the current set.
detailstringnoImage detail level: low or high (default: high)
temperaturefloatnoSampling temperature (0.0 - 2.0)
max_tokensintegernoMaximum tokens to generate
chat_with_search

Chat with Grok using live web search and/or X (Twitter) search. The model automatically searches the internet to ground its response.

Parameters:

NameTypeRequiredDescription
promptstringyesThe user message to send
search_typestringnoSearch type: web, x, or both (default: both)
modelstringnoModel ID (default: grok-4.3). Call list_models for the current set.
system_promptstringnoSystem prompt to set context
temperaturefloatnoSampling temperature (0.0 - 2.0)
max_tokensintegernoMaximum tokens to generate
reasoning_effortstringnoOn grok-4.3: low/medium/high controls native reasoning depth. On multi-agent models: low/medium = 4 agents, high/xhigh = 16 agents (xhigh is multi-agent-only).
embedding

Generate text embeddings.

Parameters:

NameTypeRequiredDescription
inputstringyesText to embed as JSON: a single string or array of strings
modelstringnoEmbedding model to use (default: grok-2-text-embedding)
list_models

List all available Grok models. No parameters. Results are cached for 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

Setup

Create the config file:

mkdir -p ~/.config/mcp-server-grok-chat

Create ~/.config/mcp-server-grok-chat/config.toml:

api_key = "xai-..."

Build

cargo build --release

This produces target/release/grok-chat.

For development:

cargo build              # debug build

cargo run # run in dev mode RUST_LOG=debug cargo run # run with debug logging

MCP Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "grok-chat": { "command": "/path/to/grok-chat" } } }
