Grok Bot is xAI’s always-on agent, shipped with Cursor. Each bot gets its own cloud computer, its own logins, and the ability to keep working after you close the laptop. That is the same category as Hermes and OpenClaw. It is not the Grok CLI, and it is not a Grok chat tab.
Official Cursor docs cover marketplace plugins (Gmail, Notion, Slack). Custom MCP is the path that is easy to miss. There is no settings form. Cursor staff said so on the forum on August 30, 2026: tell the bot to add the server in chat.
ContextBolt SEO is already a public HTTPS SEO MCP server. That is the shape Grok Bot can reach.
Add it in chat
Send this to the bot:
Add this MCP server: https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp/YOUR_TOKENIt will confirm the URL and set it up. Tools show up on the next message. Then ask what SEO tools it has.
The bot runs in the cloud, so a localhost MCP that works in Cursor IDE or the Grok CLI will fail here. Ours does not. seo.contextbolt.app is public HTTPS over streamable HTTP, which is what the staff reply asked for.
No Authorization header. The token is in the path. Do not screenshot the URL, and do not paste it into a shared Discord.
If you are actually on the Grok CLI (Grok Build) rather than Grok Bot, that is a different config: grok mcp add --transport http contextbolt-seo https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN. Do not mix the two.
The longer how-to, including routines and the approval gate, is SEO with Grok Bot. For the wider picture, including Hermes and OpenClaw, start at SEO for agents.
How to connect ContextBolt SEO to Grok Bot
-
Subscribe and get your MCP URL
Subscribe to ContextBolt SEO ($35/month for 1,000 lookups). Your private MCP URL arrives by email and looks like https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN. Keep it private, like a password.
-
Tell Grok Bot to add the server
In a Grok Bot chat, send: Add this MCP server: https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN. Cursor staff confirmed there is no settings form for custom connectors. The bot confirms the details and sets it up. Tools appear on the next message.
-
Ask it what SEO tools it has
Send a new message: what SEO tools do you have? You should see keyword research, SERP overview, difficulty, and the rest. If nothing appears, ask it to confirm the server is reachable over HTTPS.
-
Connect Search Console (optional, free)
Ask 'connect my Google Search Console', approve read-only access on Google's consent screen, and Grok Bot can read your real clicks and positions. Those tools never spend lookups.
Example prompts for ContextBolt SEO + Grok Bot
Once connected, try asking Grok Bot. Every one of these is copyable.
Add this MCP server: https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN This is the install step, not a research prompt. Grok Bot confirms the URL and registers the tools for the next message.
Research five keywords for this topic with volume, difficulty, and intent. Do not draft until I approve the list. Calls keyword_research, then waits. Approval is the point. Grok Bot can keep working in the cloud. You still decide what ships.
Who is in the top 10 for this query, and is the keyword winnable? Chains serp_overview and keyword_difficulty so the bot sees live page one before it writes.
Every Monday, pull Search Console for the last 7 days and message me the queries that dropped. Uses a Grok Bot routine plus the free Search Console tools. No lookup cost for your own data.
