Setup

Grok Bot connects to remote MCP servers only. Create a dedicated token for Grok Bot, so you can revoke it without touching your other integrations.

1. Create a token in Settings, API Tokens. Copy it. PodRead shows it only once.
2. Send this message to Grok Bot, with your token in place of <token>:

   Add this MCP server. Name: PodRead. URL: https://podread.app/mcp. Header: Authorization: Bearer <token>

   Grok Bot stores the header on Cursor's connector backend, not on your device.
3. If Grok Bot does not use the tool on its own, mention the connector by name: type @PodRead in the composer.
4. Done. Grok Bot can now create podcast episodes for you.

Use a dedicated token. The token goes into a chat message. A token used only for Grok Bot lets you revoke it alone, without breaking any other connected app.
