# Can Grok Bot use your own knowledge base?

Client: Grok Bot

[Grok Bot](https://www.knowman.io/integrations/grok-bot) supports custom tooling and [MCP servers](https://www.knowman.io/guides/mcp-server-knowledge-base), and its desktop app documents a Remote HTTPS connector with a server URL and optional headers. [KnowMan’s hosted MCP server is at https://api.knowman.io/mcp](https://github.com/Essatt/knowman-mcp), so you can describe a setup using that endpoint and KnowMan authentication options.

## Remote HTTPS connector fields

```text
Name: KnowMan
Type: Remote HTTPS
Server URL: https://api.knowman.io/mcp
HTTP header: Authorization: Bearer <KnowMan API key>
```

## What Grok Bot is

[Grok Bot is an AI teammate that works in apps and on a computer in the cloud](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/how-grok-bot-works). [Each Bot has its own name, job, conversation, and working context that develops over time](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/bots).

## 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](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/files-and-results). [Skills are reusable instructions available across your Bots, though a Bot may need the relevant app or login](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations).

## Custom MCP servers

[Grok Bot supports custom tooling for MCP servers and APIs](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/overview). [A Bot can add an MCP server by URL or by running a command on its computer](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/computer-and-apps).

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](https://www.knowman.io/guides/how-to-save-articles), asking with citations, reading an item, saving a link, viewing [recent items](https://www.knowman.io/guides/personal-knowledge-base), 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](https://www.knowman.io/guides/ai-knowledge-base) with citations, and keeps memories such as claims, decisions, and playbooks. Learn more in [the MCP knowledge base guide](https://www.knowman.io/guides/mcp-server-knowledge-base) and [the guide to knowledge bases for AI agents](https://www.knowman.io/guides/knowledge-base-for-ai-agents).

## Questions

### Can Grok Bot connect to a knowledge base?

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](https://www.knowman.io/guides/what-is-an-mcp-server) for saved items and memories.
