How do I use SentryDock with Grok?
Grok can attach a custom connector the same way it attaches built-in ones. You paste one public SentryDock address that includes your key. After Grok discovers the tools, they show up in ordinary chats on the web and in the Grok apps.
This is the same SentryDock account as Claude or Cursor. Start with “What’s on my SentryDock account?” then a news question. See what to ask.
On grok.com:
- Create a key in Settings → Agents and copy it.
- Open Grok connectors.
- Click New Connector, then Custom.
- Paste the MCP address from the snippet, with your key in place of YOUR_API_KEY. Name it SentryDock.
- Save. Grok will list the SentryDock tools.
- In a new chat, ask “What’s on my SentryDock account?” then “What’s the news in Peru?”

}From a Grok chat
On grok.com you can also click the + button in a chat, choose Connectors, and add the same custom address there. Paid Grok plans are what xAI uses for custom connectors; if the Custom option is missing, you are on a plan that does not include them yet.
Grok in a coding tool
If you are in a coding assistant that already speaks MCP (including Grok-based coding tools), paste the JSON config the same way you would for Cursor. The address is identical.
What to say first
- “What’s on my SentryDock account?” — plan, monitors, delivery, latest alerts.
- “News in Peru” or “copper strikes in Chile” — ranked headlines already in the index.
- “Show my latest alerts” — this account’s hits.
- “Run my cocoa monitor now” — same as Run now in the app, after you confirm.
- “Pause every monitor” — only after you confirm.
