Working with her in the terminal
Grok Build is xAI’s coding agent. It lives in the terminal, runs commands, and speaks MCP. It is not Grok chat on grok.com, iOS or Android, and it is not Grok Bot. Same pairing as Claude Code vs Claude, or Codex vs ChatGPT. A custom connector at grok.com/connectors does not install this product. Official MCP isgrok mcp add.
Set up
Two routes lead to the same place. MCP hands Grok Build her 14 hosted tools with nothing installed locally. Her skill teaches thepostqueen CLI when you want shell commands and JSON you can pipe.
1
Connect over MCP
One command writes
~/.grok/config.toml. The scoping options, the header variant and self-hosted URLs are on Grok Build over MCP.2
Or install the CLI and skill
.grok-plugin/plugin.json and .grok-plugin/marketplace.json). Add the repo as a marketplace source; the identifier is postqueen@postqueen-agent. It loads the same skill and does not register an MCP server.3
Verify
grok mcp list confirms the MCP server. A JSON list of channels from the CLI means the key works.Grok Build can also load Cursor
mcp.json and ~/.claude.json at lower priority. That is a compatibility fallback, not the official install. grok.com/connectors still does not register this product.👑 A launch post from the session
