FAQs
Grok Build and Xholic: questions
Setup, safety and pricing for using Xholic in Grok Build.
What's the difference between Grok Build and Grok Bot?
Grok Build is xAI's coding agent in your terminal. Grok Bot is an always-on agent with its own cloud computer and routines. Both work with Xholic.
Where are Grok Build's Xholic tokens stored?
In ~/.grok/mcp_credentials.json after you sign in. Disconnect Grok Build in Xholic under Settings → API / MCP / CLI to revoke them.
Is Xholic free to use with Grok Build?
Xholic has a 7-day free trial with no card needed. After that, the MCP server, API and CLI are included in every plan, from $19 a month. Grok Build does the writing on its own plan, so Xholic doesn't charge for its AI.
Does Grok Build need my X password?
No. You connect your X account to Xholic once through X's official sign-in. Grok Build then signs in to Xholic through your browser, so it never sees your X password or a key.
Can Grok Build post to X without asking me?
Only if you allow it. When you approve Grok Build you choose what it can do: read, write drafts and lists, and publish. Untick Publish and it asks you first with a one-click link. In apps that can show a confirmation, every post and DM waits for your yes and shows exactly what goes out. Authentication and permissions
Which X accounts can Grok Build use?

Works with your other AI too

One Xholic account works in all of them at once, with the same voice, memory and queue. People who use Grok Build often also connect Grok Bot, Grok and Claude Code.
