What Grok Bot is
Grok Bot is an AI teammate that works in apps and on a computer in the cloud. Each Bot has its own name, job, conversation, and working context that develops over time.
Memory, files, and skills
Each Bot has its own memory for preferences, rules, and a dated work log. You can ask a Bot to remember, fix, or forget information.
You can attach files to a request and tell the Bot how to use them. Skills are reusable instructions available across your Bots, though a Bot may need the relevant app or login.
Custom MCP servers
Grok Bot supports custom tooling for MCP servers and APIs. A Bot can add an MCP server by URL or by running a command on its computer.
In the desktop app, choose “Add a custom connector” at the bottom of Connect apps. The Remote HTTPS connector takes a server URL and can include optional HTTP headers and an OAuth Client ID.
Describe a KnowMan connection
KnowMan’s hosted MCP endpoint is https://api.knowman.io/mcp and uses Streamable HTTP. KnowMan supports OAuth consent or an API key sent as an Authorization: Bearer header.
For the desktop connector, use the fields shown below to describe the endpoint and API-key option. The Remote HTTPS connector documentation lists a server URL and optional headers.
What KnowMan provides through MCP
KnowMan’s MCP server exposes kb_search, kb_ask, kb_get_item, kb_save, kb_recent, and kb_memories. The tools cover searching saved items, asking with citations, reading an item, saving a link, viewing recent items, and accessing saved memories.
KnowMan’s OAuth consent requests knowman.read for search, read, and ask, and knowman.write for saving links.
KnowMan as a personal library
KnowMan saves articles and links, reads and tags them, answers questions with citations, and keeps memories such as claims, decisions, and playbooks. Learn more in the MCP knowledge base guide and the guide to knowledge bases for AI agents.
Questions people ask

Grok Bot supports custom MCP servers, which a Bot can add by URL. KnowMan provides a hosted MCP endpoint at https://api.knowman.io/mcp.
What URL do I enter for KnowMan?
Use https://api.knowman.io/mcp as the endpoint in the Remote HTTPS connector. That is KnowMan’s hosted MCP server URL.
How does KnowMan authentication work?
KnowMan supports OAuth consent or an API key sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. OAuth requests read access for searching, reading, and asking, and write access for saving links.
Does KnowMan replace Grok Bot memory?
Grok Bot maintains its own memory for preferences, rules, and work logs. KnowMan provides separate MCP tools for saved items and memories.
