Grok Bot GitHub: Official Repos, Connector and Setup (2026)
Grok Bot GitHub guide: is Grok Bot open source, what the built-in GitHub connector can do, how to connect it, and which xai-org repos are related.
Quick answers (updated Oct 27, 2026)
- Is Grok Bot on GitHub?
- No. Grok Bot is a closed app from SpaceXAI and Cursor, and its source isn't published. The official xai-org GitHub has 11 public repos, none of them Grok Bot.
- Does Grok Bot integrate with GitHub?
- Yes. Grok Bot has a built-in GitHub plugin. Connect it from Connect apps and Bots can list your repos, compare commits, read pull request commits and read branch and issue comments.
- Which GitHub repo do people confuse with Grok Bot?
- xai-org/grok-build, the open-source Grok Build terminal coding agent, and xai-org/grok-prompts, the prompts behind the @grok reply bot on X.
Grok Bot GitHub searches mix three questions: is the code open source, can a Bot work in my repos, and where are the community templates. Here are straight answers for each, checked against the official xai-org account and the Grok Bot changelog.

Is Grok Bot open source?
No. Grok Bot ships as desktop and mobile apps from x.ai/bot and signs in with your Cursor account. It isn't in the xai-org GitHub account, and there is no self-hosted version.

The Grok Bot GitHub connector
Per the Grok Bot changelog, the built-in GitHub connector can:
- List your repositories
- Compare commits and list a pull request's commits
- Read branch and issue comments
- Suggest repos it can reach, or ask you to reconnect, when GitHub refuses access
The GitHub plugin appears in Marketplace search with a Connect button, and its page lists each tool so you can switch any of them off.
How to connect GitHub to Grok Bot
- Open Connect apps in the sidebar, or click an in-chat Connect prompt.
- Find GitHub and choose Connect.
- Authenticate in your browser and pick the repos or org access to grant.
- Turn off any tools you don't want Bots to use.
- Ask a Bot: "Summarize every PR merged this week and list open review comments."
Connected apps are account-wide, so every Bot you run can use the same GitHub connection. Credentials stay in the connector backend; Bots call the tools without seeing tokens.
Community Grok Bot repos on GitHub
The grok-bot and grokbot topics on GitHub are full of unofficial projects: awesome-grokbot catalogs of shared x.ai/bot templates, playbook collections with AGENTS.md rules, and template libraries with MCP access. They are handy for ideas, but they are community lists, not SpaceXAI releases.

Run Grok Bot templates in Sumus
If you want an AI teammate that actually works in your repos, Sumus pairs Grok 4.7 with coding agents. Sumus gives you AI teammates that run Grok 4.7: pick a ready-made template like a researcher, an outreach writer or a weekly-report Bot, give it the job in plain words, and it gets to work in the same chat as your team. Mix in Claude Opus 5.5 for careful writing or GPT-6 for analysis, and connect local agents like Claude Code or Codex when a task needs your own machine.
