Hi,
Grok on Web can access Microsoft products, like Outlook and Teams, but it can’t in Grok Bot. I have a workflow that requires access to those.
Will cloud agent access to MCPs be added to Grok Bot?
Thanks!

Hi @ArtSabintsev Thank you for the post and thank you for being a Grok Bot launch day user!
Grok Bot does support connectors and MCP today. They’re under Settings → Plugins in the app, and once you add one you can attach it to a task by typing @ in chat.
However, there is currently no Microsoft one specifically. There’s no Outlook, Teams, or Microsoft 365 connector in the catalog right now, so there’s nothing to install for those. That’s the gap you’re hitting rather than a general lack of MCP support in Grok Bot.
For your workflow in the meantime, the supported path is computer use. Ask your Bot to open Outlook or Teams on the web in its own browser and sign in there. You’ll need to take over the computer to complete the login and any 2FA yourself, but the session persists afterward, so your Bots can keep working in both without you signing in again each time. Use the computer and apps walkthrough to see how that works, including handing the computer back and forth.
Thanks for the quick reply, Kevin!
I already use Claude’s Microsoft 365 connector for Outlook in my workflow, and I’m looking for the same in Grok Bot. Sounds like the gap is just no Microsoft connector in the catalog yet, not MCP support itself.
Is first-party Outlook / Microsoft 365 for Grok Bot on the roadmap?
Unfortunately, due to security policies, whenever I use Computer Use with Outlook on the web, I get logged out of my local instance of Microsoft products, so it’s a non-starter for me.
Hi @ArtSabintsev, we’re aware of the ask and it is in consideration. Will keep you updated!
The way I’m getting around this for now now is by having a Grok Bot agent login into grok.com which already has these services connected, and then piping my commands to Outlook/Teams (etc.) there.
It works for me, but only because I pay for SuperGrok.
that is actually quite genius, im glad grok found this thread for me
. will do the same
Amazing, glad it worked! Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to connect to onedrive yet on an xAI-powered solution.
I am having Grok Bot call into my Claude (Yolo) mode solution on my home computer.
I basically have to keep my computer on at home to get the Grok and Claude connectors working that Grok bot doesn’t have.
It’s fine for now - Grok Bot is amazing and worth this tiny bit of trouble.
@kevinn - if your team can prioritize the Microsoft suite of products at some point, I’d be very grateful!
Yes, please add the connector! Currently have agents literally skimming emails via browser, which is not great and it keeps logging them out.
The skimming emails via Outlook in the browser was working alright for me for all of 20 minutes. Then my M365 account got locked. I believe it got flagged as a security issue; my credentials were being used on a server simultaneously as I was using them on my PC. I hope the local egress will solve my problem, but I don’t have access to that beta yet.
Hi @kevinn,
Same here. My company and all of the organizations I work with heavily use Microsoft. That includes M365 (OneDrive, Outlook, SharePoint, etc), Azure, and to a lesser extent personal Outlook and OneDrive. I need those connections to make Grok Bot relevant to most of my use cases beyond just writing code, for which regular Cursor works well.
Thanks,
-Eugene
This is a TOP priority plugin for me.
Same here, and it also breaks Dynamics 365 Business Central.
We used the supported computer-use path (Grok Bot cloud Chrome + I complete login/2FA). It worked for about a week. Last night several Bots used the same Microsoft account in that Chrome while I was also signed in on my office PC. After that the cloud Chrome cannot sign into Microsoft at all.
Office PC still works. Cloud Chrome does not: AADSTS900561 (endpoint only accepts POST, received GET), then “We couldn’t sign you in.” Tried password reset, Sign out everywhere, computer update, a new Chrome profile, and a second Entra user. Same failure. There is no Dynamics 365 Business Central / Microsoft 365 connector.
Please add a Microsoft connector. Browser login is not a workaround for us anymore.
Hi @ArtSabintsev, good eye, and thanks for circling back with the screenshot. Outlook, Outlook Calendar, and OneDrive are live in Plugins now, so mail, calendar, and files are covered. Search microsoft in Plugins, add them, sign in with your Microsoft account when prompted, then pull them into a task with @ in chat. Full steps are in Connect plugins. One note on that search result: Azure and Dataverse are separate developer tools and don’t stand in for Outlook or Teams.
Teams is still the missing piece, and there’s no SharePoint or Dynamics plugin yet either. Two things worth knowing before you connect. If you’re on a work account, your IT admin may need to approve the app the first time. And now that the plugins exist, I’d stop signing into Outlook through the Bot’s browser. That keeps a live Microsoft session open on a shared cloud machine, which is what set off the security checks and lockouts described earlier in this thread. The plugins connect through Microsoft’s own sign-in and skip that problem entirely.
I haven’t been able to get grok bot Outlook & calendar connector connected to 365 Business despite IT approving it. Keeps saying require approval whenever I try to connect them. IT has tried approving it multiple times
I am having this same issue. Multiple requests and multiple approvals at the org-level, but I get stuck in a loop. Each time it does this:
Hi @kevinn
I have been trying to connect outlook and sent requests to our IT admin to authorize - who have now on several occasions authorized, but still does not work, and looks for permissions again.
Any advice you might have?
Thanks a lot
Thanks for the update! I’ve personally just moved away from Microsoft, so this is no longer an issue as of today, but wanted to say thank you for prioritizing this work for myself and others.
Experiencing the same issue on our end. I was able to get an end user authenticated with the web version of Grok, but continue getting failures on Grok Bot.
We just got the Outlook &c connectors hooked into our Microsoft 365 corporate tenant. It took a bit of tweaking, but it does work. Don’t lose hope! ![]()
Now I’m just waiting on the Teams connector…
