# Grok connector

> Connect Crustdata to Grok as a custom MCP connector: 800M+ people profiles and 200M+ companies in chat, with a browser sign-in and no API key to paste.

Grok reaches Crustdata through the same [MCP server](/for-agents/mcp) as every other client. Crustdata is not in the Grok connector catalog, so you add it as a custom connector.

The endpoint is the same everywhere:

<div style={{ marginLeft: '4px', marginRight: '4px' }}>
  ```
  https://install.crustdata.com/mcp
  ```
</div>

* **One URL to add.** No SDK, no local process, no config file.
* **Browser sign-in.** No API key to paste into a chat.
* **Grok Bot too.** Bots use the connectors on your account, so this covers them as well.

## Before you start

* A Crustdata account. [Sign in or create one](https://app.crustdata.com/auth/login).
* Allow popups for `grok.com`. The sign-in opens in a popup window.

## Add the connector

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your connectors">
    Go to [grok.com/connectors](https://grok.com/connectors), or click **Plugins** in the Grok sidebar and open the **Connectors** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new connector">
    Click **New Connector**, then choose **Custom**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the connection">
    * **Name:** Crustdata
    * **Server URL:** `https://install.crustdata.com/mcp`

    Click **Add Connector**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize">
    A popup asks **Authorize Grok?**. Click **Continue**, then sign in. To use a key instead, click **Connect with an API key**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a team">
    Choose the team the connector acts as. It uses that team's credits and data access.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Crustdata then appears under **Connected** with a status of **Added**.

## Check it worked

Ask Grok:

> How many Crustdata credits do I have?

A number means you are connected.

If you get no number:

* Check the **Connectors** tab. If Crustdata is not under **Connected**, the sign-in did not finish.
* Confirm popups are allowed for `grok.com`, then add the connector again.
* Start a new chat. A connector added mid-conversation may not be picked up until you do.

## Try it

Ask for what you want in plain English:

* "Show me AI startups with 100-500 employees"
* "Who are the engineering leaders at Anthropic?"
* "What jobs does Stripe have open right now?"
* "Find the profile for `jane.doe@acme.com`"

A single request can chain steps: "Find AI startups hiring engineers, then get me the founders' emails."
