Connect Grok
Add the Pulse MCP server to Grok as a custom connector
Query the Pulse database directly from Grok. See the MCP overview for the available tools and example prompts.
Requirements
- A Grok account (sign in or sign up before following the steps below)
- A Pulse Intelligence account with OAuth access enabled
Setup
Step 1: Open connectors settings
- Go to grok.com and sign in
- Click your profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar
- Select Settings
- Click the Connectors tab in the left sidebar
Direct link: grok.com/connectors
Step 2: Add the Pulse connector
- Click New Connector
- Click Custom
- Enter the following details:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Pulse Intelligence |
| URL | https://mcp.pulseintelligence.com/mcp |
- Click Add Connector
Step 3: Authorize with Pulse
- After clicking Add Connector, you will be redirected to the Pulse authorization page — sign in with your Pulse Intelligence credentials
- Review the permissions being requested (read-only database and document search access)
- Click Authorize to grant access
Step 4: Start using it
- Open a new conversation in Grok
- You should see the Pulse integration listed in the menu under Connectors
- Ask a question that requires document search or database access (force MCP use by adding "use the Pulse connector")
- Results appear inline in the conversation
Tips
- Read-only access — all queries are read-only and cannot modify data
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Authorization fails | Check that your Pulse account has OAuth access enabled — contact your admin |
| Connection failed error | Verify the URL is exactly https://mcp.pulseintelligence.com/mcp |
| Tools not showing in chat | Start a new conversation after connecting the connector |
| Search returns no results | Try broadening your query or using different terminology |
Notes
Grok uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Your credentials are never shared with Grok — only a scoped access token is exchanged.
