How to connect Grok to Tarkle
Add Tarkle to Grok as a connector, sign in, allow access and test it by listing your workspaces.
Grok can work with your Tarkle files through the MCP server. You add Tarkle to Grok as a connector, sign in to Tarkle in your browser, allow access once, and test the connection. Grok connects with browser sign-in, so you do not need an API key for it.
What Grok can do with Tarkle
Once you allow access, Grok acts as you, and it only does what your role allows in each workspace. The Allow page lists three things: list your workspaces and files, upload files into a workspace you can share from, and create public share links for those files. The MCP server offers more actions, such as file requests and brand pages. Actions such as inviting a person or changing a member's role ask you first. The article What an AI assistant can do in Tarkle explains what an assistant can reach.
Links that Grok creates are public. Tarkle sends no email with them, so give the link to the person yourself.
Connect Grok to Tarkle
In Grok, open the settings for connectors and add a custom connector for an MCP server.
Enter the server address https://mcp.tarkle.com/mcp.
Save the connector. If you are not signed in to Tarkle, Tarkle asks you to sign in first.
On the page titled Allow [app name] to use Tarkle?, check the email address you are signed in with and the address Tarkle sends you back to. Only continue if you started this connection. Click Allow, or click Deny to refuse.
Back in Grok, ask: "List my Tarkle workspaces." A list of workspaces means the connection works.
Files larger than 5 GB
Grok connects through the browser, and Tarkle treats a browser-based assistant as a chat assistant. Files up to 5 GB go through Grok. For a larger file, Grok gives you a link to a browser upload page, where you pick the file yourself. That upload follows your plan's file limit: 1 GB per file on Free, and up to 200 GB per file on Pro and Agency, as listed on the pricing page.
Disconnect Grok
To disconnect Grok, remove the Tarkle connector from Grok's connector settings. Grok connects with browser sign-in, so it has no API key to delete, and nothing to remove in Settings.
Other assistants and API keys
Other assistants that support remote MCP servers with browser sign-in, such as Perplexity, may be able to use the same server address and sign-in steps in their own settings. Check the assistant's own setup guide for its menu names. The steps for ChatGPT and Claude are in their own articles.
Tools that send an API key, such as coding assistants, use a key instead. Owners and admins create one in Settings, then API, on the API keys tab. Click Create, enter a Name, and choose Access: All workspaces or Only selected workspaces. Copy the key when it is shown. You can copy it again later from the key's row menu, with Copy token. Delete in the same menu stops the key at once. A member who needs a key asks an owner or admin.
What happens next
After the test, ask Grok for one task in a workspace you choose, such as listing the files in it.
