### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor for iOS ### Describe the Bug Product area: Grok Bot (iOS) — official X marketplace plugin / MCP connector (plugin id 49086599). The dropdown has no Grok Bot option, so I picked Cursor for iOS. I cannot connect the official X plugin in Grok Bot. Starting auth opens [x.com](http://x.com) in the in-app browser and immediately shows X’s error page (Hebrew UI): משהו השתבש לא הצלחת לתת גישה ליישום. חזור אחורה ונסה שוב להיכנס. English: “Something went wrong. You failed to give access to the application. Go back and try to log in again.” There is a Back button and a support-center link about third-party app access. Auth never completes. Connector status after failure: user-X is error / needsAuth, tools=0, detail either “Failed to load MCP server” or “Authentication required”. Plugin id 49086599. This is a different failure from the Vercel Grok Bot bug (Vercel says “redirect URL is invalid”). Here X itself rejects the authorize/grant step. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. In Grok Bot iOS, install / open the official X plugin (49086599) 2. Tap Connect / authenticate 3. Grok Bot opens [x.com](http://x.com) for OAuth 4. X shows “Something went wrong / You failed to give access to the application” 5. Auth never completes. Connector stays error/needsAuth, tools=0 ### Expected Behavior OAuth should complete and the X connector should become connected with tools available in Grok Bot, same as other official plugins (Slack, GitHub, Figma, etc.). ### Screenshots / Screen Recordings ![x-plugin-error.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/b/0/b01f172a6b54fde72aa58b430cdc579f429bb6aa.jpeg) ### Operating System Other ### Version Information - OS: Other → iPhone, latest iOS. Reproduced from Grok Bot iOS. - Client: Grok Bot iOS (App Store, Grok Bot 1.0) - Plugin: official X marketplace plugin, id 49086599 - Connector: user-X, tools=0, needsAuth / Failed to load MCP server - Other official plugins in the same Grok Bot session connect fine: Slack, GitHub, Figma, Sentry, Higgsfield, Context7, Supabase, Resend - Related but different: Vercel plugin 649 fails with a different OAuth error (invalid redirect URL): [Grok Bot: Vercel plugin (649) OAuth fails with “App configuration error – redirect URL is invalid”](https://forum.cursor.com/t/grok-bot-vercel-plugin-649-oauth-fails-with-app-configuration-error-redirect-url-is-invalid/168499) ### Additional Information Screenshot attached (taken in Grok Bot iOS on [x.com](http://x.com) during the connect flow). Status bar shows “Grok Bot \>”. Please fix the X OAuth client / redirect used by Grok Bot for this official plugin so X accepts the grant. Happy to retry as soon as it is updated. ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

Hi @Netanel! Could you give it another try after updating the Grok Bot iOS App (to 1.2)? We’re seeing connections working now! ---

Hey Colin — I updated Grok Bot iOS to 1.2 and reinstalled the official X plugin. It still shows Error after the reinstall (connector user-X, Failed to load MCP server, tools=0). Screenshot attached. ![x-plugin-error-full](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/6/1/619df81f91ed5414c054fe509cb4617eec19f423.jpeg) ---

Hey @Netanel It looks like your screenshot got warped. Can you try again (I just tried on a fresh install and it worked) and share a fresh screenshot? ---

Hey Colin — here’s a fresh screenshot (the last one got warped on upload). After Grok Bot iOS 1.2 and reinstalling the official X plugin, it still shows Error: Failed to load MCP server on the default account. Connector stays Error / tools=0. ![x-plugin-error-fresh](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/9/3/93abc01999b577d66fae57238b3f89dc88018d8a.png) ---

Same here, and it isn’t just Grok Bot iOS. Official X plugin (49086599) and official Vercel plugin (649) both fail OAuth for me in Grok Bot and in Cursor. After connect, both stay needsAuth / Error, tools=0. X is authentication\_required. On Vercel (Cursor Cloud and Grok Bots), authenticating for Cloud opens [vercel.com](http://vercel.com) already signed in as my account, then a dashboard 404 (“Not Found” with a “Sign in as a different user” button) instead of an authorize screen. I’m not switching accounts — that’s just the 404 page.

Happy to retry whenever the OAuth client / redirect is updated. ---

Thanks @Netanel and @jon_art Could you try opening the X plugin, go to the connected account itself, disconnect / sign out of that account, and then sign in again fresh? ---

Hey Colin — already did that several times (open the X plugin, disconnect / sign out of the connected account, then sign in again fresh). Tried it again just now on today’s latest Grok Bot version. Still the same Error: Failed to load MCP server on the default account. Connector stays Error / tools=0. ---

Hey Colin — I tried the disconnect / sign out and sign in again on Cursor. Local X plugin is Connected. Cloud still Needs Authentication. Authenticating Cloud opens [x.com](http://x.com) and immediately shows: Something went wrong You weren’t able to give access to the App. Go back and try logging in again. Same X reject as the original report. Connector stays needsAuth / tools=0. Happy to retry whenever the Cloud OAuth client is updated. ![x-cloud-oauth-error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/9/a/9a0a734069d79f8a7dd58eb34f9be423fe23752f.webp) ![x-cursor-configure](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/b/2/b235b5fd458ac8c9b574c803d577f9a7d0c5e4dc.webp) ---

Update: on the latest Cursor desktop, deleting the X plugin and installing it again works - OAuth connects. ---

I just opened a new support request seems to be same issue. ---

Hey @Colin — checking back on this. It’s been a few days, and I still can’t get X tool calls to work. Both Local and Cloud now show Connected, but calls return `user-not-enrolled`, even though X’s Console shows my account is active, enrolled, and has credits. Could you escalate this to the MCP team and let me know who’s looking into it? If X needs to fix something on their side, could you help get it to the right person? Happy to share the diagnostic details privately. Thanks! ---

Hey @Netanel, @jon_art and @HeyHeathbar! Wanted to check in to see if you’re still facing an issue with the X Plugin! We have more reports of users being able to successfully authenticate, but also know that isn’t everyone’s experience. An uninstall/reinstall of the plugin tends to be what kicks it back to shape, at least for a little while. ---

I already updated, fixed about week ago on my side
