Connect Grok with your buddy

Explore timely ideas with Grok and give the useful ones a lasting place in your buddy’s itinerary.

Grok can be another window for discovery and conversation. Your travel buddy gives the result continuity by fitting it into your dates, travelers, and existing plan.

Start setup

Connection endpoint

MyTravelBuddy remote MCP

Use this exact HTTPS address. Authentication happens through MyTravelBuddy OAuth — never paste a static access token.

https://mcp.mytravelbuddy.ai

Before you start

What you need

  • A MyTravelBuddy account with at least one trip you can access.
  • Grok on web or mobile with Custom Connector support.
  • A Grok plan that includes custom MCP connectors.
  • No MyTravelBuddy Client ID is needed — Grok registers automatically through OAuth.

Setup guide

Connect in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Add MyTravelBuddy in Grok

    Create a Custom Connector using the MyTravelBuddy MCP server.

    • Open Grok → Skills and Connectors → Connectors.
    • Choose New Connector → Custom and name it MyTravelBuddy.
    • Enter https://mcp.mytravelbuddy.ai and add the connector.
  2. 02

    Complete OAuth authorization

    A real connection includes the MyTravelBuddy sign-in and consent flow.

    • Sign in to MyTravelBuddy when Grok redirects you.
    • Review the requested permissions and approve the connection.
    • If Grok says Connected without ever showing sign-in, remove the connector and add it again.
  3. 03

    Bring useful discoveries home

    Ask Grok to use MyTravelBuddy whenever an idea should become part of the actual trip.

    • Start a conversation and name MyTravelBuddy in the request.
    • Ask Grok to check your trip before recommending where a new idea fits.
    • Review and approve any itinerary, checklist, or packing-list change.

Try it with your buddy

Prompts that make the handoff clear

“Use MyTravelBuddy to show my open evenings, then help me decide where this idea fits.”
“Check my latest trip and add this place to the itinerary after I confirm the day.”
“Turn these recommendations into a checklist for my trip.”

After connecting

What Grok and your buddy can do together

Bring trip context into Grok conversations.
Find open itinerary space before adding a new idea.
Update trip plans and lists with user approval.
Keep the resulting plan available wherever you continue with your buddy.

Troubleshooting

Common questions

Grok shows Connected but tools do not work

OAuth likely did not complete. Remove the connector, revoke any stale Grok grant in MyTravelBuddy, and add it again so the sign-in flow runs.

Disconnect removed the connector

Grok may treat Disconnect as removal rather than a temporary pause. Add the Custom Connector again to reconnect.

Grok never asks me to sign in

Delete and recreate the connector with the exact MCP URL. MyTravelBuddy requires OAuth before Grok can list protected tools.

Your companion stays with the trip

Use Grok when it helps. Keep your buddy at the center.

Every approved change is available in MyTravelBuddy, ready for the next conversation and the journey itself.
