🚀 Grok Bot Hackathon '26

Everything you need to connect your Grok Bot to the hackathon's data and tools. Each tool is an MCP connector: a link that lets your Grok Bot read from (or publish to) a service. No code needed.

How to connect

Add a connector in three steps

Copy the message. Pick a connector below and click Copy message for Grok Bot. Send it in your Grok Bot chat; your bot adds the connector for you.
Sign in if asked. If a Connect card or sign-in page appears, click it and finish signing in (Mission 2 asks for a username and password, listed on its card).
Check it worked. Ask something like "What tools do you have from the bio connector?" or "What's on Helen's calendar tomorrow?"

Every connector has a URL (where it lives) and, for some, sign-in details (a header such as Authorization: Bearer …, or a username and password). The JSON blocks show the same details in the format many MCP tools use, if you'd rather add them yourself.

MCP connectors · Start here

Connect the Viewer first

⭐ Everyone: connect the Viewer first. Whatever mission you pick, you'll use it to publish and share what you build.

For ALL missions

Viewer: publish and share artifacts

Lets anyone publish artifacts (pages, reports, dashboards) to view.esconsulting.io/view to share with others. The server includes a saved prompt that explains how to use it: ask your Grok Bot to find and follow it.

Connector URL: https://view.esconsulting.io/mcp
Sign-in: Header Authorization: Bearer MCP_VIEW

Message for Grok Bot

Connect to the "viewer" MCP connector at https://view.esconsulting.io/mcp using the header Authorization: Bearer MCP_VIEW. Then find the prompt saved on that MCP server, read it, and follow it whenever I ask you to publish or share something to https://view.esconsulting.io/view.
