Grok Bot plugin

Install the Appaloft plugin in Grok Bot and use the hosted MCP to deploy, read logs, and create routines from a conversation.

Goal

The Appaloft plugin for Grok Bot packages the existing skills/appaloft skill with Appaloft’s hosted HTTP MCP. After you add it and finish OAuth, a bot can use Appaloft’s two product doors from a conversation: Deploy (folder to URL) and Agent (setup + code).

This path does not replace appaloft setup agent or appaloft mcp stdio on your laptop. Those remain the local-host install.

When to use this

Use this page when you want to operate Appaloft from Grok Bot. For Cursor, Claude Code, or other laptop hosts, stay on MCP and tool protocols.

Install the plugin

Install Appaloft from the plugins directory in Grok Bot:

Launch Grok Bot.
Open the plugins directory.
Search appaloft.
Click Add next to the Appaloft plugin.

The plugin JSON does not contain a token. Authentication happens next, through OAuth on the hosted MCP.

Authenticate with Appaloft

After adding the plugin, connect it to your Appaloft account. Authentication is the hosted MCP server’s OAuth flow:

Open the Appaloft plugin page in Grok Bot.
Choose Authenticate.
Complete the hosted MCP OAuth flow when your browser opens.

The hosted MCP URL is https://app.appaloft.com/mcp.

Use Appaloft in Grok Bot

Ask a bot for the Appaloft outcome you want. Common use cases include:

Deploy: take a folder to a reachable URL (the Deploy door).
Logs: query the logs your applications collect.
Routines: create routines in Grok that summarize application usage daily.

What’s included

The Grok Bot plugin installs these components:

The existing skills/appaloft skill, with Appaloft workflows for setup, deployment, and operations.
The hosted HTTP MCP at https://app.appaloft.com/mcp, which reaches your Appaloft account through OAuth. No token is stored in the plugin JSON.

Laptop path stays

On a laptop, keep writing the skill and Local MCP with:

appaloft login
appaloft setup agent

Or start local MCP directly:

appaloft mcp stdio

See MCP and tool protocols. The Grok Bot plugin is a hosted MCP entry. It does not replace appaloft setup agent.
