Grok-MCP

MCP server for xAI's Grok API with agentic tool calling, image and video generation, vision, and file support.

Features

• Agentic Tool Calling: Web search, X search, and code execution with multi-step reasoning
• Multiple Grok Models: Access to Grok-4.1-Fast-Reasoning, Grok-4.1-Fast-Non-Reasoning, Grok-4-Fast, Grok-3-Mini, and more
• Image and Video Generation: Create images and videos using Grok Imagine
• Vision Capabilities: Analyze images with Grok's vision models
• Files API: Upload, manage, and chat with documents
• Stateful Conversations: Maintain conversation context as id across multiple requests

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher
• xAI API key (Get one here)
• Astral UV

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/merterbak/Grok-MCP.git
cd Grok-MCP

2. Create a venv environment:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # macOS/Linux or .venv\Scripts\activate on Windows

3. Install dependencies:

uv sync

Configuration

Claude Desktop Integration

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grok": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/Grok-MCP",
        "run",
        "python",
        "main.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "XAI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Filesystem MCP (Optional)

Claude Desktop can't send uploaded images in the chat to an MCP tool. The easiest way to give access to files directly from your computer is official Filesystem MCP server. After setting it up you’ll be able to just write the image’s file path (such as /Users/mert/Desktop/image.png) in chat and Claude can use it with any vision chat tool.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/Users/<your-username>/Desktop",
        "/Users/<your-username>/Downloads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

---

For stdio:

uv run python main.py

Docker:

docker compose up --build

Mcp Inspector:

mcp dev main.py
