Grok client guide1. Create your Pear account
Sign up at pearmcp.com, then connect Apple iCloud or Microsoft 365. Grok chat can use Pear OAuth. Grok Build and xAI API workflows can use a Pear API key from Settings.
Sign Up Free2. Add Pear as a Grok connector
Grok supports built-in connectors and custom MCP connectors. Add Pear as a custom MCP connector when you want Pear's unified Apple iCloud and Microsoft 365 tool surface rather than separate first-party office connectors. Use the hosted server URL:
On Grok Business and Enterprise, a team admin must provision Pear from the cloud console before members can connect it. Adding or removing connectors requires Team Read-Write permission. If you do not have that permission, ask your team admin to add Pear first.
https://pearmcp.com/api/mcp- For an individual account, open grok.com/connectors. Managed-workspace members use the Pear connector their admin provisioned.
- Click New Connector, then choose Custom.
- Paste the Pear server URL.
- Complete Pear sign-in, or provide your Pear API key if Grok asks for a token.
3. Use Pear from Grok Build
Grok Build can inspect MCP servers available to your coding environment. After Pear is configured, run:
grok inspect grok
Inside the Grok TUI, open /mcps to check Pear status. Grok Build is compatible with Claude Code style MCP configuration, so teams already using Pear there can usually reuse the same server entry. If Grok Build does not show Pear, re-run the inspect command from the project directory that contains your MCP config.
For xAI API builders
If you call Grok through the xAI API, pass Pear as a remote MCP tool. Keep the Pear API key on your server and send it as the MCP authorization value.

What Pear unlocks inside Grok
The available tools, reads, writes, and approvals depend on the current Grok surface, workspace role, connector configuration, and permission policy.
- Use one hosted MCP server for Apple iCloud and Microsoft 365 workflows.
- Read and write calendar events, tasks, contacts, and mail from Grok conversations.
- Keep Google Calendar migration paths ready as Pear expands provider support beyond compatible IMAP/SMTP mailbox beta.
- Use Pear in chat, coding, and API workflows without running a local bridge.
Grok and Grok Build workflows worth testing
- Ask Grok to read mail context, create a follow-up task, and schedule the next meeting.
- Use Grok Build to create release reminders while inspecting project instructions and MCP config.
- Use the xAI API remote MCP path when you want Pear tools in your own Grok-powered app.
