Grok + Keap: No Connector, and the Way In
Grok has no Keap connector, built in or in its catalog. Your contacts, tags, campaigns and pipeline stay in Keap, out of Grok’s reach. Add Carly to Grok once and Keap comes with it, in the same chat as your mail and calendar.
Where Keap sits against Grok’s connector list
Grok’s built-in connectors cover Gmail and Google Calendar, Google Drive, Outlook Mail and Calendar, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and Salesforce. Its catalog adds apps like Box, GitHub, Notion, Linear and Canva. Keap is on neither list, and Grok Bot has no Keap plugin either. For Keap that gap cuts deep, because the whole point of Keap is that a tag or a pipeline stage sets something in motion. Grok can read the email a lead sent and cannot tell you what tag they carry or which campaign they are in.
Keap has not shipped an MCP server
Grok accepts any public MCP server as a custom connector, but Keap has not published one, and the question sits on Keap’s own developer forum without an official answer. What exists is middleman access: hosted Keap servers from integration platforms like Pipedream, Composio and Zapier, each of which is another account and another company holding your Keap sign-in, or community code you run yourself.
Add Keap to Grok through Carly
- Connect Keap at carlyassistant.com/integrations with a Keap sign-in.
- In Grok, go to
grok.com/connectors, click New Connector, then choose Custom. - Enter
https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/and complete the sign-in. - Ask Grok about Keap. The Carly connector answers with your live data.
On Grok Business and Enterprise, a team admin provisions custom connectors in the cloud console before members can use them. In Grok Bot the same server goes in as a plugin: open Plugins from the sidebar, add https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/, and sign in. Your Cursor team’s MCP policy decides whether members can add their own servers.
What Grok can do with Keap once Carly is in
- “Which contacts tagged webinar-september never entered the follow-up campaign?”
- “Move Michael Grant’s opportunity to Proposal Sent and add a note about today’s call.”
- “Who replied to the renewal email this week, and what stage are they at?”
With Grok’s Gmail or Outlook connector beside the Carly connector, the email and the Keap record meet in one answer.
The Keap work that happens after the chat closes
A connector answers when you ask. Nothing in Grok watches Keap.
Since July 2026 Grok can start work on its own two ways: a schedule, or an incoming email matching your filters. Email is the only event it watches. Its connectors to Salesforce, Teams, SharePoint and the rest never fire anything, they wait to be asked inside a conversation. Carly's connections work the other way round. They watch, and they start the work themselves.
Keap’s own automations run on Keap’s own events. The ones that start in your inbox, a reply that should move a deal or a lead that should get a tag, need something watching the mail. Carly does that and writes the result back to Keap.
Carly connects to thousands of apps, so the same connection that brings Keap into Grok also reaches Gmail, Outlook, your calendars and your booking pages. Free Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month. Get started at carlyassistant.com.
What people report going wrong with Grok’s custom connectors
Custom connectors are young, and two public reports are worth knowing about before you depend on one. A thread on Cursor’s community forum, opened on 14 August 2026, describes custom MCP servers in Grok Bot hanging and taking every other connector down with a DeadlineExceeded error, while staying invisible in the Plugins screen so they could not be removed. More than twenty people reported the same problem before Cursor shipped a self-service fix on 7 September. Separately, an issue opened in May 2026 on the GitHub tracker for Plane, the project management tool, describes Grok’s custom connector sitting on “Connecting…” indefinitely after sign-in, and it is still open.
If a connection stalls, remove it at grok.com/connectors and add it again before assuming the server is at fault.
FAQ
Does Grok have a Keap connector?
No. Keap is not among Grok’s built-in connectors (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and Salesforce) or in its catalog. The way to bring it into Grok is a custom connector, and Carly’s is https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/.
Can Grok Bot work with Keap?
Not through a plugin of its own, because Grok Bot’s plugin list has no Keap entry. Add Carly as a plugin with https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/ and Grok Bot reaches Keap through it.
Is there an official Keap MCP server? Not as of September 2026. The Keap servers available are hosted by integration platforms or published as community code, not by Keap.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
