Introduction

Grok is xAI's assistant, and its bot builder lets you create a personal agent that holds context, runs skills, and connects to the apps you already use through plugins.

This guide explains how to connect Breathe HR to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with Breathe HR in plain language.

Why use Composio?

Composio exposes 1,500+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get:

  • Connect to 1,500+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions.
  • Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls.
  • Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean.

Connecting Breathe HR to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Breathe HR entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute.

Set up Grok Bot

Get access. Grok Bot is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams, and SuperGrok Heavy. Get the desktop app for macOS or Windows from x.ai/bot and sign in. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices.

Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time.

1. Add the Composio plugin

Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens.

3. Connect your Breathe HR account

Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Breathe HR or give it any Breathe HR task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "List all employees out on leave this week."
  • "Add new employee record for onboarding."
  • "Generate a summary of recent performance reviews."

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Breathe HR account is ready to use.

What is Grok Bot?

Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps.

With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like Breathe HR through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Breathe HR MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Breathe HR MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Breathe HR account. It provides structured and secure access to employee records, departments, absences, leave requests, expenses, and salaries, so your agent can create employees, review HR information, track absences, manage leave approvals, and record expenses on your behalf.

  • Employee record management: Have your agent create new employee records, list your workforce, or retrieve detailed information about a specific employee.
  • Absence and leave tracking: Instruct your agent to review absences and leave requests by date, employee, department, or absence type.
  • Leave request approvals: Direct your agent to approve pending employee leave requests in Breathe HR.
  • Expense administration: Let the agent create employee expense records and review expenses already submitted.
  • Department and salary visibility: Have your agent list company departments and review employee salary information.

Way Forward

Now that Breathe HR is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot can run true cross-app workflows end to end.

  • Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
  • Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
  • Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
  • Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Breathe HR MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Breathe HR tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Breathe HR and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Grok Bot fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Breathe HR tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Breathe HR scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Breathe HR data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
