Connect GWC Bridge to Grok
Follow these steps to connect Grok to GWC Bridge.
1. Before you start
An active Connect Pass and a signed-in GWC Studio or GWC for VS Code on your computer are required.
One GWC approval covers all folders shared by computers on your GWC account and all permissions supported by the server. You cannot choose individual folders or permissions during sign-in. Limit sharing in GWC Studio or GWC for VS Code before approving.
Do not enter an API key, bearer token or client secret. GWC uses OAuth with PKCE.
2. Add the connector
- Open grok.com, then Connectors → New Connector → Custom.
- Name the connector GWC Bridge. Enter the MCP URL below. The client ID is handled by GWC; enter no additional client credential.
- Follow the OAuth connection flow.
MCP: https://mcp.gwc-corp.com/mcp.
3. Sign in and approve
- Sign in with the same GWC account used on your desktop computer.
- Check the full GWC Bridge access presented by GWC. Approve only if every currently shared folder and every server-supported permission is acceptable. This is not a read-only grant.
- Complete the OAuth confirmation in Grok.
4. Check the connection
Ask the assistant to run ping, then list_folders. Check the returned computer and folder names before requesting file work.
Use GWC Bridge to run list_devices, then ping and list_folders for your chosen computer. Return computer names and status from list_devices and folder labels from list_folders. Do not open, read or change files.5. Troubleshooting
If the wrong GWC account appears, choose another account and repeat sign-in. If the callback or sign-in fails, start a fresh connection; do not reuse a code.
- OAuth redirect mismatch: start again; only the registered callback is accepted. Do not register a separate client.
- Invalid or reused authorization code: start a fresh connection; do not reuse it.
- Connect Pass required: check the active Connect Pass on the GWC account.
- Computer offline or no folder: reopen GWC Studio or GWC for VS Code, check its desktop sharing configuration and the actual selected account.
- Disconnecting a computer only stops its relay; to withdraw Grok access, disconnect or revoke that assistant's GWC Bridge authorization.
