Open a new session in Grok Build and paste it.
Send it. Grok Build sets up Simplified and walks you through sign-in.

Connect

Add Simplified to Grok Build with one config entry.

Add Simplified as a remote MCP server in Grok Build and sign in with your Simplified account. You get everything Simplified can do, from images and video to scheduling and analytics.

Add the server.

Open ~/.grok/config.toml and add a simplified entry of type http with the server URL.

Sign in.

Start Grok Build and finish the sign-in in your browser when asked. There is no password or key to paste into the session.

Check it, then ask.

Ask Grok Build to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces. Then ask for your first post.

Put it in ~/.grok/config.toml. If you already have MCP servers there, add the simplified block next to them. Keep one entry for Simplified, not two. Read the full setup guide

Terminal in, every channel out.

Grok Build can reach the social accounts linked to your Simplified workspace. Platform setup stays in Simplified, not in your config.

What Grok Build can do with Simplified

Grok Build works on your project. Simplified gets the result in front of people.

Say what you built, get a post

Describe the change or point at the files. Grok Build writes the copy, Simplified makes the image and schedules it.

Right tone for each channel

A technical note for developers, a plain update for customers, and a short line for the rest.

Visuals that match your brand

Images and clips start from your Brand Kit instead of a generic template.

Notes and docs into posts

Hand over a notes file or a docs page and get a set of posts built from it.

A plan around the release

Ask for a teaser, a launch post and a follow up as drafts, then adjust them in plain English.

See what got attention

Ask how recent posts performed and what to change for the next release.

Nothing publishes unseen

Follow Grok Build's approval prompts when it uses a tool, or ask for drafts and approve them yourself.

What does Simplified add to Grok Build?

Grok Build is a coding agent for the terminal. Simplified adds the part that comes after the work: a Brand Kit, image and video generation, a content calendar and publishing to 13 platforms, so you can announce a change from the same session that made it.

What is the Simplified connector for Grok Build?

A hosted MCP server you add to Grok Build as an http server. The entry holds a name and the URL, so there is nothing to run on your machine.

Start Grok Build, finish the sign-in in your browser, and ask it to list your workspace and teamspaces. That check should come from Simplified tools, not from a chat answer alone.

The config block, line by line

Four lines in your Grok Build config are all the connection needs.

[[mcp.servers]]

Starts one MCP server entry. If you already have servers, add Simplified next to them.

name = "simplified"

What the server is called inside Grok Build.

type = "http"

Simplified is hosted, so it connects over HTTP instead of starting a local process.

url

https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp, the hosted Simplified server.

If Grok Build is not using Simplified

Grok Build does not load the server

Check the TOML syntax and that the entry is in the config file Grok Build reads. Save the file and start a new session.

The Simplified tools do not show up

Start a new session so the tools load. A saved config entry alone does not prove the tools are available, so ask Grok Build to list your workspace and teamspaces to check.

Grok Build asks me to sign in again

Approve access once more in your browser. Signing in again refreshes the connection and your work carries on where it stopped.

Grok Build cannot see my channels

Connect your social accounts in Simplified first. An empty list does not mean the connection failed: it usually means no accounts are linked to that workspace yet. Also check that you picked the right teamspace.

Questions before you connect

And some things you'd ask us.

How do I add Simplified to Grok Build?

Add a simplified entry of type http with the URL https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp to your Grok Build config, start a session and finish the sign-in in your browser. Then ask Grok Build to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces to check it worked.

Read the general setup guide

Can Grok Build post to my social accounts?

Yes, once Simplified is connected. Grok Build can draft, schedule and publish to the 13 platforms linked in your Simplified workspace: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, X, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Reddit and Telegram. It only reaches accounts you have already connected.

What does each line of the config do?

[[mcp.servers]] starts an entry, name is what Grok Build calls it, type = "http" says it is a hosted server, and url is the Simplified server address. You can keep your other servers in the same file.

Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in to your Simplified account in the browser and approve access, so there is no password or key to paste into the session. If your client cannot use OAuth, the MCP authentication guide covers API-key headers.

Will Grok Build publish without asking me first?

Follow Grok Build's approval prompts when it uses a tool. If you would rather review everything yourself, ask for drafts and approve them when you are ready.

Can it use files from my project as images?

Not by file path. The hosted Simplified server cannot read files on your computer, so media has to reach Simplified as bytes or a link, or be generated by Simplified from a prompt.

Does it use my brand colors, fonts and logo?

It uses the Brand Kit saved in your Simplified workspace, so each release graphic starts from the same colors, fonts and voice.

Is Grok Build the same as Grok or Grok Bot?

No. Grok Build is the terminal coding agent. Grok Bot is a separate product with its own page. It is the same Simplified connector in all of them.

Grok Build does not show the Simplified tools. What should I check?

A saved config entry does not prove the tools are loaded. Check the TOML and the file you edited, finish the sign-in, then ask Grok Build to list your workspace and teamspaces. If the list of accounts is empty, connect your social accounts in Simplified first.

Read the general setup guide

Is this different from using Simplified with Claude Code or Codex?

It is the same connector with a different config. Each terminal agent has its own page.
