With the Cobrief connection in Grok Bot, you can find tenders and work with your pipeline directly in the conversation. You sign in with your own Cobrief user.

Before you start

You need a Cobrief user with access to the workspace you want to use.

How to connect

Add Cobrief by sending a message to your bot:

Open a conversation with your bot in Grok Bot.
Write: “Add Cobrief as an MCP server with the URL https://mcp.cobrief.com/mcp.”
Review the setup the bot proposes and follow the connection card. Choose “Authenticate” or “Authorize” when prompted.
Sign in with your Cobrief user in the browser and approve access.
Send a new message and ask the bot to use Cobrief.

You do not need an API key. Your organization’s administrator must allow the connection if your team restricts which MCP servers you can use.

What you can do

The connection is available on every Cobrief plan. On the free plan, you can search notices from the last 12 months, read the inbox and change the tender search, but not its relevance threshold. Relevance scores are not included, and the limit is 100 calls an hour per workspace. Other tools require a paid plan. Market intelligence requires Ultra or Enterprise. During a trial, we need to have verified your company.

Access follows your plan and your role in Cobrief. For example, you can ask to:

Search public tenders in Norway and Europe, and check the inbox.
Fetch tender details, view the pipeline and read comments and tasks.
Find content in the knowledge base and read bid documents and saved procurement briefs.
On a paid plan: search and read the competition documents saved on a tender, and set the owner and members.
Add tenders to the pipeline, move them, write comments and update tasks and bid documents.
An administrator can change the tender search and the email alerts. You can subscribe or unsubscribe yourself.
On a paid plan: create a private tender that only the workspace can see.
Research buyers and awards with market intelligence on Ultra or Enterprise.

If you ask to start or refresh a procurement brief, it uses the workspace’s normal analysis limits and allowances in Cobrief.

Use Cobrief in a conversation

Ask Grok Bot to use Cobrief in the chat.

For example, you can ask:

“Show our Cobrief inbox. Include deadlines and links to the tenders.”
“Find cloud services tenders from municipalities in Norway.”
“Search the competition documents for the qualification requirements.”
“Which tenders do we have under review?”
“Add this tender to the pipeline as under review.”
“Mark the tax certificate task as completed.”

If you belong to several workspaces, include the name of the workspace you want to use.

Security and privacy

Grok Bot never gets more access than you have in Cobrief.
You approve access to read and update data when connecting. Changes are recorded under your Cobrief user.
The connection belongs to your Grok Bot account and can be used by more than one of your bots.
Retrieved data becomes part of your conversation in Grok Bot. The platform’s terms and privacy policy apply there.

Disconnect

Open “Connect apps” in Grok Bot, find Cobrief among the installed apps and remove the connection there.

Having trouble?

Sign-in does not complete. Open Cobrief under “Connect apps” and choose “Authenticate”. Finish signing in through your browser.
Your organization blocks the connection. Ask an administrator to allow Cobrief.
A tool requires a different plan. Check which workspace you are using. Market intelligence requires Ultra or Enterprise, and a verified company during a trial.
You do not have access to an action. Ask an administrator to check your role in Cobrief.
Wrong workspace. Name the workspace you want to use in the conversation. If a workspace is missing, disconnect and sign in with the same user you use in Cobrief.

If you get stuck, message us in the Cobrief chat or at [email protected].
