Common questions
Is Kanonik 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

Kanonik
Governance runtime for compliance work, connected to Grok over MCP.
Kanonik gives your AI a typed compliance model to work in, a tamper-evident record of everything it does, a server-side Verifier that checks its work, and a human-approval gate in front of every write. Your AI does the reasoning. Kanonik makes the result defensible.
What you can do with it
Ask your AI to work on your compliance program in plain language:
- Draft and revise policies and procedures against a loaded framework
- Assess internal controls and record the evidence behind each judgement
- Find the gaps between what a framework requires and what you actually have
- Build an audit trail an assessor can verify independently
- Produce a Statement of Applicability, or the equivalent artifact for your framework
The framework in scope comes from your workspace. Kanonik runs ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, GDPR, NIST CSF 2.0 and HIPAA today. Nothing in the plugin is specific to any one of them.
Installing
/marketplaceThen pick Kanonik. Or from the CLI:
grok plugin install kanonik --trustOn first use your AI connects to https://app.kanonik.ai/mcp and a browser window opens for sign-in. You will need a Kanonik account; sign up at kanonik.ai.
What this plugin contains
One file that tells Grok where the Kanonik MCP server lives:
{"mcpServers": { "kanonik": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.kanonik.ai/mcp" } } }
That is the whole plugin. There is no bundled code, no install script, no hook, and no local process. Everything runs server-side at Kanonik.
Permissions and data
- Network. One endpoint,
https://app.kanonik.ai/mcp. Nothing else. - Authentication. OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration and PKCE, against
https://auth.kanonik.ai. Tokens are held by your Grok client. The plugin holds no credential and ships no secret. - Scopes.
kanonik:readto read your compliance record,kanonik:proposeto draft changes,kanonik:committo submit them for approval. - Writes. No change reaches your record without a signed single-use approval token and a human clicking to approve it. Your AI cannot approve its own work.
- Your other systems. Kanonik never holds credentials to your source systems. If your AI reads from GitHub, Jira, or your identity provider, it does so through its own connections, not through Kanonik.
