Quick answer
Grok Bot adds connectors as plugins from Connect apps, and it supports custom MCP servers of the Remote HTTPS type. Add Nation as a Remote HTTPS server with the URL https://mcp.withnation.ai/mcp, sign in to Nation and pick your store, then type @ in a chat to attach it. On grok.com, add the same URL under New Connector, then Custom.
Nation publishes this guide about its own connector. The steps for Grok Bot come from its maker's own documentation, checked 13 Oct 2026. See where Nation fits.
What you need before you connect
- Grok Bot, which is included with every paid individual Cursor plan and with the Cursor Teams plan.
- On a Cursor team, a connector policy that allows the server: Grok Bot inherits your team's Cursor connector policy.
- A Nation account and a store with an active plan.
- The Nation server URL: https://mcp.withnation.ai/mcp
Add Nation to Grok Bot
xAI documents that connectors are installed as plugins from Connect apps. Its Team Bots page lists Remote HTTPS custom MCP servers as a plugin type, but the docs do not show the exact screen for adding one, so the labels in your app may differ slightly.
Open Connect apps
In the Grok Bot app, select Connect apps in the sidebar. In the mobile app, tap your avatar at the top left, then Connect apps.
Add Nation as a Remote HTTPS server
Nation is not in the Connect apps catalog yet, so add it as a custom MCP server and choose Remote HTTPS. Enter Nation as the name and https://mcp.withnation.ai/mcp as the server URL.
Sign in
When Grok Bot asks you to Authorize or Authenticate, finish Nation's sign-in in your browser, as described in the next section. If sign-in does not finish, choose Reconnect on the plugin.
Check that it is installed
Confirm that Nation appears under Installed. Installed connectors are account-wide.
Attach it to a task
In a chat, type @ and pick Nation.
Add Nation to a Team Bot
Owners and managers of a Team Bot add shared plugins from the Setup section of the Bot's info pane, in the Plugins card. With a Remote HTTPS server that signs in with OAuth, as Nation does, the Bot uses each person's own sign-in, so every teammate signs in to Nation once.
Add Nation to Grok on grok.com
Grok on grok.com is a different product from Grok Bot, with its own connectors. On Grok Business and Enterprise, an admin first adds the server at console.x.ai, under Grok Business, Connectors: select + Add Connector, then Other, and enter the URL. Members then connect their own accounts on grok.com/connectors.
Open Connectors
Go to grok.com/connectors.
Add a custom connector
Click New Connector, then select Custom.
Enter the URL and sign in
Enter https://mcp.withnation.ai/mcp as the MCP server URL and finish Nation's sign-in.
Sign in to Nation and choose your store
The Nation side is the same for every assistant.
Sign in with your email
Grok Bot opens app.withnation.ai/mcp-auth. Enter the email you use for Nation and the one-time code Nation sends you. There is no password and no API key to copy.
Choose the account
If your email belongs to more than one Nation account, choose the one that owns the store.
Choose the store
Pick the store Grok Bot may work with. One connection reaches one store. A store without an active plan is shown but cannot be picked.
Select Connect
Nation creates a key for that store named after the assistant and ending in (MCP), then sends you back to Grok Bot.
What Grok Bot can do in your store
Once Nation is connected, Grok Bot works in the one store you picked, through Nation's tools.
Read tools only read. Tools that delete, refund, cancel or reach outside Nation are marked as destructive or open-world, so the assistant can ask you before it runs them. Changes it makes are saved in your store like any other change.
What to ask Grok Bot once Nation is connected
Ask in plain words, the same way you would ask a person who runs the store with you:
- Which products sold best this month?
- Show me orders that still need to be fulfilled.
- What is running low on stock?
- Create a 15% discount code for returning customers.
- Make the homepage headline shorter, then publish the storefront.
Disconnect Nation from Grok Bot
Sign in to Nation
Sign in at app.withnation.ai with your email and the one-time code.
Open Settings, then Developer
This page lists the keys that assistants use to reach your store.
Revoke the key
Revoke the key for Grok Bot, the one ending in (MCP). Access stops at once. If you use Nation in Grok Bot again, it asks you to connect again.
Remove the plugin in Grok Bot
In Connect apps, open Nation and choose Remove. On grok.com, remove the connector on grok.com/connectors.
If Nation does not work in Grok Bot
- The store you want cannot be picked: it needs an active plan, or it belongs to another Nation account. Sign in with the email that owns it.
- Grok Bot cannot reach the server: check that the URL is exactly https://mcp.withnation.ai/mcp, with /mcp at the end.
- Grok Bot works in the wrong store: one connection reaches one store. Revoke the key in Nation and connect again, choosing the other store.
- Changes do not show on your live site: storefront changes stay unpublished until you publish them. Ask the assistant to publish the storefront.
- The plugin shows Disabled by team admin: your Cursor team's connector policy blocks the server. Ask your admin to allow it.
- The plugin says Added but the Bot cannot use it: Added means installed, not signed in. Open Nation in Connect apps and choose Authenticate.
- Still stuck: email dk@withnation.ai with the email you sign in with, the store name, the assistant you used, what you asked and roughly when.
Where Nation fits
Nation
Category: an AI store builder
Nation says one description of what you make builds the store, then agents handle orders, customers and delivery and run ads, content and social posts, with you approving the work. The Nation connector lets Grok Bot work in one Nation store you choose.
Limits today
- Status: pre-launch, with a waitlist on withnation.ai.
- One connection reaches one store; connect again to work in another store.
- Only stores with an active plan can be connected.
- The assistant can change and delete things in your store, so read its confirmation prompts before you approve them.
Nation publishes this page about its own connector. Nation does not make Grok Bot, and the steps for Grok Bot come from its maker's documentation.
Describe what you makeQuestions about connecting Nation to Grok Bot
Do I need an API key to connect Nation to Grok Bot?
No. Nation's connector signs you in with OAuth, so you never copy a key. Grok Bot opens Nation's sign-in page, you enter your email and a one-time code, choose a store and select Connect. Nation then creates a dedicated key for that store itself, and you can revoke it in Settings, then Developer.
Can Grok Bot change my store without asking?
Grok Bot changes your store only when it calls one of Nation's write tools for you. Tools that delete, refund, cancel or reach outside Nation are marked as destructive or open-world, so the assistant can ask you first. Read those prompts before you approve them, and revoke the key in Nation if you want access to stop.
Can I connect more than one store to Grok Bot?
One connection reaches one store, the one you pick while signing in. To work in a different store, revoke the key for Grok Bot in Nation under Settings, then Developer, and connect again, choosing the other store. Stores without an active plan are shown in the list but cannot be picked.
Is Grok Bot the same as Grok on grok.com?
No. xAI documents them as separate products. Grok Bot is an app for AI teammates that adds connectors as plugins from Connect apps. Grok on grok.com has its own connectors page, where you add Nation under New Connector, then Custom. You can connect Nation to either one, or to both with separate sign-ins.
