Connect Basin to Grok
Basin is a connector that lets your AI assistants and other people's assistants work from one shared library, across different tools and different companies. Setting it up in Grok takes a few minutes.
These steps have not been re-checked against xAI's own documentation, which 404s at the published addresses. Check Grok's connectors screen against what you see.
Before you start
Grok calls this bring your own MCP: Basin is added as a custom connector and its tools sit alongside the built-in ones. Two conditions:
- A paid tier. Custom connectors sit on Grok's paid plans.
- A public endpoint. Grok rejects localhost and private addresses; Basin's endpoint is public, so there is nothing to tunnel.
Connectors work on web, iOS and Android. The connector screen is easiest on the web.

Open the connectors page
Go to grok.com/connectors. On mobile it is under Settings, then Connectors.
Add a custom connector
Choose New Connector, then Custom. Name it Basin and paste the endpoint as the MCP server URL, then finish the Basin sign-in when Grok prompts.
Ajoutez l’instruction permanente
Add one line to your custom instructions, so a conversation checks Basin rather than answering from what is in front of it.
Consulte Basin au début de chaque conversation.
Without it the assistant may not think to look. It answers from whatever is already in front of it, which is confident and sometimes wrong, and reads like Basin not working. Basin is a live connector, not a document in the conversation. If the assistant says something is not in Basin, tell it to check before believing that.
Vérifiez la connexion
Une réponse de Basin confirme la connexion. Si votre bibliothèque est vide, c’est normal — l’étape suivante consiste à enregistrer un projet.
If it did not work
Mettez-le à l’œuvre.
Enregistrez le brief d’un vrai projet, puis ouvrez une nouvelle conversation et demandez à votre assistant de le retrouver.
