What is xBridge MCP?

A plain-English guide. No jargon. 3 minutes to understand, 2 minutes to set up.

The Problem

Claude Code is great at writing code, reasoning, and building things. But it can't search the web. Can't check what's trending on X. Can't generate images or video. Can't remember context between sessions.

Grok (by xAI) can do all of that — live web search, real-time X/Twitter data, image generation, video generation. But Grok can't write your code or manage your project.

The Solution

xBridge MCP connects them. It's a bridge that lets Claude Code call Grok's tools directly from your terminal. No tab switching. No copy-pasting. One workflow.

You ask Claude a question. Claude decides it needs web data. It calls Grok through xBridge. Answer comes back. You never leave your terminal.

What Can It Do? (19 Tools)

grok-chat — talk to Grok

grok-web-search — live web results

grok-x-search — real-time X/Twitter

grok-image-generate — create images

grok-image-edit — edit images

grok-video-generate — create video

grok-session-* — persistent memory

grok-chain-* — multi-step research

grok-docs-* — xAI documentation

grok-models — list available models

How Does It Work?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI assistants use external tools. Think of it like a USB port — xBridge MCP plugs Grok into Claude Code.

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — you use your own xAI API key from x.ai/api. xBridge never resells API usage. You control your costs.

Setup (2 Minutes)

Claude is smart enough to help you set this up. Just tell it: "Set up xBridge MCP" and share these steps:

Get a free key at xbridgemcp.com (or go Pro for unlimited)

Get your xAI API key from x.ai/api

Add this to your Claude Code MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xbridge": {
      "command": "xbridge-mcp",
      "env": {
        "XAI_API_KEY": "your_xai_key",
        "XBRIDGE_KEY": "your_xbridge_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code. Done. All 19 tools are now available.

Pro tip: Claude is smart enough to configure this for you. Just paste the config above into your chat and say "add this MCP server" — Claude will find the right config file and set it up.

Real Examples

Things you can do once xBridge is connected:

"Search X for what people are saying about MCP servers" — Claude calls grok-x-search
"Research the latest Next.js 16 changes" — Claude runs grok-chain-research (multi-step)
"Generate a logo for my project" — Claude calls grok-image-generate
"Create a 15-second promo video" — Claude calls grok-video-generate
"Continue our conversation from yesterday" — Claude uses grok-session-chat

FAQ

Is this made by xAI?

No. xBridge MCP is an independent open-source project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by xAI.

Is it safe?

Yes. BYOK means your API key stays on your machine. xBridge never stores or proxies your key. The code is open source (MIT) — inspect it yourself.

Can Claude set it up for me?

Yes. Claude Code understands MCP configuration. Give it the JSON config above and it will add it to the right file. You just need the API keys.

What if I don't have an xAI API key?

Get one free at x.ai/api. xAI gives you free credits to start.

What about $XBRDG?

$XBRDG is a Solana community token that gives holders loyalty perks on xBridge MCP. It started as a meme. It's not an investment. You don't need it to use xBridge.
