Connect xpnAi to GrokBot

Set up a supported GrokBot connection to xpnAi, verify Workspace access and ask your first Xero finance question.

Use case

You work in GrokBot and want to ask questions about your Xero organisations using the xpnAi connection available in your assistant environment.

Introduction

Connection support depends on the application hosting GrokBot. Choosing a Grok model alone does not configure an MCP connection. The host needs remote HTTP MCP and browser-based OAuth support.

Start with an existing xpnAi Workspace and a connected Xero organisation, or complete guided setup. Ask GrokBot to read the xpnAi setup guide and inspect its available connection controls. For a confirmed Cursor-hosted connection, xpnAi provides a specific connection and troubleshooting guide.

The server address is https://api.xpnai.app/mcp. Complete sign-in in the browser, select the intended Workspace and approve the permissions you need. An existing xpnAi connection should be reused when it already points to that Workspace.

Prompts

1. Find the supported connection path

Read https://help.xpnai.app/skill.md and connect GrokBot
to my existing xpnAi Workspace, [Workspace name].
Check which MCP connection and authentication controls
are actually available in this environment.
If this is a supported Cursor-hosted connection, also read
https://help.xpnai.app/clients/cursor.md.
If the host cannot connect, explain the missing capability.

2. Confirm access

Discover the xpnAi tools and call get_context.
Show the Workspace, available Xero organisations, import
status and last successful sync times.
If tools are unavailable, explain what still needs to be enabled
instead of reporting that setup is complete.

3. Explore the first set of transactions

For [organisation], show the ten largest supplier bills
issued in August 2026. Include supplier, bill reference,
issue date, due date, status, currency and outstanding amount.
Keep different currencies separate and identify suppliers
with the same name using their distinct records.
Make no changes in Xero.

Output

You should see a successful connection check before the bill summary. Missing sign-in prompts and unavailable tools need to be resolved through the host's supported controls. They do not mean you need another xpnAi Workspace or a fresh Xero connection.

Screenshot / video to come
Capture: GrokBot in its supported host completing tool discovery, showing the correct Workspace and returning a supplier-bill table. Include the host name so readers can identify the demonstrated setup.

Read the xpnAi client guide for connection troubleshooting, then try prepayments for specific bills.
