Build on Shruwd
Add Shruwd to Grok as a custom connector, sign in, and ask Grok about your brand in AI answers. Or call it from the xAI API.
Add Shruwd to Grok as a custom connector. Grok can then read your brand's visibility in AI answers, its findings and its crawler activity, and set up prompts and competitors for you.
Add the connector
- Go to grok.com/connectors.
- Click New Connector, then Custom.
- Enter the URL:text
https://shruwd.io/mcp - Sign in to Shruwd, choose the workspace and the access, and click Allow.
Grok Business and Enterprise: an admin adds the connector first, at console.x.ai under Grok Business → Connectors → Add Connector → Other.
Ask
- "What's my AI visibility for acme.com?"
- "Which findings should I fix first?"
- "Which AI crawlers visited my site this week?"
From the xAI API
Pass Shruwd as a remote MCP tool, with an API key from Account → API keys as its
authorization:
curl https://api.x.ai/v1/responses \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $XAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "grok-4.7",
"input": [{ "role": "user", "content": "What is my AI visibility on Google AI Overviews?" }],
"tools": [{
"type": "mcp",
"server_url": "https://shruwd.io/mcp",
"server_label": "shruwd",
"authorization": "sh_live_…"
}]
}'
The key works with or without Bearer in front.
Disconnect
In Shruwd, go to Account → API keys. Under Connected apps, remove Grok. It is signed out at once. A key used from the API is revoked from the same page.
