Grok
Membase in Grok on the web, iOS and Android, as a custom connector with OAuth consent in the browser.
Grok (web, iOS and Android) takes custom MCP servers as connectors. The menus are the vendor’s own and move with its releases; the Membase side, the URL, the consent screen and the app’s page on Connect, is the same as for every other client. Grok has no tile of its own in Connect’s client catalog: it appears under Other apps, with a monogram, once the consent completed.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- A Grok plan that allows connectors. On a Business or Enterprise plan a team admin provisions them first.
- A Membase account with at least one Memory that has run once.
Set up
Section titled “Set up”- Open
grok.com/connectors. - New Connector → Custom.
- Enter the server URL,
https://api.app.membase.io/mcp-http, and complete the authentication: the browser opens Membase’s consent screen. Tick the Memories Grok may use and, if it may read the profile, Profile access; press Approve access. - Grok discovers the tools the server exposes for that consent. Ask “List my Membase containers.”
With a developer key
Section titled “With a developer key”Grok’s connector dialog has no header field, so a person’s Grok connects by consent only.
Grok’s API also takes remote MCP servers as tools on a request; that is a developer
integration rather than a plugin, and it works with a developer key in the server’s
Authorization header the way MCP frameworks describes.
What it can do
Section titled “What it can do”list_containers, search_memories and, when ticked, get_profile. Nothing that writes.
Which Memories it uses
Section titled “Which Memories it uses”An empty container list means no Memory is switched on for this connection. Switch one on under Uses on Grok’s page in Connect, or under Use in on the Memory. Grok’s page exists under Other apps on Connect once the consent completed, whatever Grok’s own screen says; it has Uses, Approvals and Disconnect… like every other app.
Remove it
Section titled “Remove it”Remove the connector on the same page, and Disconnect… on Grok’s page in Membase’s Connect; the client does not tell the server.
If something looks wrong
Section titled “If something looks wrong”| It says | What it means | Do |
|---|---|---|
| the connector never authorizes | the URL has a typo or misses the path, or the consent tab was closed | paste the URL exactly; add it again |
| an empty container list | connected, no Memory switched on | Uses on Grok’s page in Connect |
| no New Connector on a team plan | connectors are provisioned by the admin | ask the admin to add the URL |
