# Grok

> The Connect AI Remote MCP Service enables Grok to securely read and take action on your data in real time.

This page outlines the steps to configure Grok to use the Connect AI Remote MCP Service. You can then use natural language to query your data in real time.

## Prerequisites

Before you can configure and use Grok with Connect AI, you must first connect a data source to your Connect AI account. See [Sources](/en/Sources) for more information.

## Configure the Connect AI MCP Server

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Log in to Grok.

  <Step>
    In the navigation pane, click **Skills and Connectors**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click the **Connectors** tab, and then click **New Connector**.
  </Step>
