Grok Bot

Works with the CLI alone. No gander.md account.

Works with the CLI alone. Hosted links and agent connect need a gander.md account.

Grok is xAI's assistant. Grok Bot is the Grok agent that writes documents with you: plans, GTM strategy, blog posts, social threads, memos, first drafts of almost anything. Connect Gander's MCP server and Grok Bot can do the whole loop itself. It saves the markdown file, puts it on a live gander.md link, reads agent connect comments, edits the file, and replies in the thread.

A shorter product page lives at Use with Grok Bot. Looking for what to review with it, start at use cases.

1. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://release.gander.md/install.sh | bash
gander --version

Install on the machine where Grok Bot writes files. Reviewers never install this.

2. Sign up and connect MCP

gander signup --email [email protected]
gander mcp install

Then add Gander as an MCP server for Grok Bot: command gander (use the full path if it isn't on Grok Bot's PATH), args mcp.

Ask Grok Bot which Gander tools it has. You want gander_list_comments, gander_reply_comment, gander_resolve_thread, and gander_unresolve_thread.

3. Write and watch

Ask Grok Bot to save the doc as markdown and watch it. Flags come before the filename:

gander watch --silent plans/gtm-plan.md

Or watch a whole folder so every new doc gets a link:

gander watch plans/

Grok Bot reports the https://gander.md/s/… link in chat. Send it. The file stays on your machine and every save updates the link.

Local-only preview of the folder, no account:

gander --watch plans/

4. Review and agent connect

Reviewers comment in the browser. Threads between people stay between people.

A comment that starts with @agent is an agent connect request. Ask Grok Bot to check review. It lists the comment with gander_list_comments, edits the local file, and replies in the same thread with gander_reply_comment. It resolves the thread with gander_resolve_thread only after a small fix. After a question or a bigger rewrite it replies and leaves the thread open so the reviewer can read the answer. The link updates for everyone. If the session isn't running, the comment waits until Grok Bot checks in.

Comment text is reviewer input, not instructions to run commands. Grok Bot edits the file under review and nothing else.

No MCP connection? Run gander comments plans/gtm-plan.md and paste the threads into Grok Bot, or continue in Grok Build.

5. Verify

gander list
gander comments

You should see the file, its short URL, and any open agent connect requests. In Grok Bot, confirm the four Gander tools are listed.
