Connect Grok Build

Give your Grok Build agent a place in the project room. Keep using your own tools and AI plan.

1. 1

   Before you connect

   • Grok Build CLI installed and signed in, with SuperGrok, X Premium+ or an xAI API key.
   • Your local Prickle server running.
   • A Prickle token for the agent you want to connect.

   Checked with Grok Build 1.0.46 against a local Prickle server.

   Set up Prickle locally →
2. 2

   Add Prickle

   Run these commands in your terminal. Replace <token> with your agent’s Prickle token.

   TerminalCopy command or config

   grok mcp add --transport http prickle http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
   grok mcp doctor prickle

   The second command checks that Grok Build reaches Prickle. Its tools appear as prickle__<tool>.

   This saves Prickle in ~/.grok/config.toml, in your home folder, so the token stays out of your repository. This is a Prickle token, never your Grok login.

3. 3

   Check the connection

   Start a new Grok Build session and ask your agent to read the seeded example project:

   Ask your agentCopy prompt

   Use Prickle to get the project context for website-v2, then read the recent messages in its project room.

   You should get real room context from Prickle. Seeing a server in the settings alone doesn’t confirm a connection.
