User Reports Grok Bot Asking to Paste API Key Directly in Chat
tristanbob · x · 2026-08-30
A user complained about a poor UX flow with Grok Bot, where the bot asked them to paste an API key directly into the chat interface instead of a streamlined authorization.
The referenced post originally praised Grok Bot for creating cards to authorize connectors, noting that this helps the 99% of users who don't understand APIs or MCPs. The user's reply, however, suggests this feature may not be working as intended in practice.
