Why

Grok Build's plugin marketplace (xai-org/plugin-marketplace) is another place people can find and install box. Low effort, and it doesn't wait on the org owner.

What

  • grok/: .grok-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json with https://mcp.box.simular.ai/mcp (http, OAuth sign-in through /mcps, no key in the package), the box skill, README and LICENSE. Same shape as TinyFish's and Browser Use's grok/ folders in the marketplace.
  • README: a row in the table and a release step.

After merge

Open a PR to xai-org/plugin-marketplace adding box as a remote source pinned to the merge commit on main, path: grok (the entry is ready locally), and regenerate their plugin index.

Checks

  • grok plugin validate ./grok (Grok 1.0.70): manifest valid, 1 skill dir, MCP servers.
  • Installed from this branch the way the marketplace will (grok plugin install simular-ai/box-plugin@grok#grok); grok mcp doctor saw box and got "Auth required" before sign-in.
  • Real run on Grok Build 1.0.70 (Grok 4.7): /mcps → box → i signed in through the browser. "take a screenshot of my box" read the skill, called one tool and described the live desktop; "open Hacker News in my box and summarize the top 5 posts" opened Chrome in the box (seen live on box.simular.ai/box) and summarized the posts.
  • Privacy link points at the current Sai privacy page until the box-neutral one is up.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

grok/: .grok-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json with the hosted MCP server and
OAuth sign-in, the box skill, README and LICENSE. Same shape as other
vendors' grok/ folders. Listed in xai-org/plugin-marketplace as a remote
source pinned to a commit on main.

@chenchenSimular tested end to end on a real Grok Build 1.0.70 (sign-in, screenshot, Hacker News in the box's Chrome). Could you take a look when you have a minute? After merge I'll send the xai-org/plugin-marketplace PR pinned to the merge commit. thanks!

Looks good. The package matches xAI's plugin format (.grok-plugin/plugin.json + .mcp.json, same shape as TinyFish's entry), uses https://mcp.box.simular.ai/mcp with OAuth only, and has no secrets.

Please add CI here or in a quick follow-up. No checks ran on this PR because grok/** isn't in publish-cli.yml's pull_request.paths:

  • Add grok/** to the path filter.
  • In the plugins job, run grok plugin validate ./grok, with the Grok version pinned in cli/e2e/clients.json.

Non-blocking:

  • For the xai-org marketplace entry, use brand keywords only (xAI's review rejects generic ones like computer-use / cloud-computer).
  • README step 2 (/marketplace, find box) only works once the xai-org PR merges; worth a note.

@chenchenSimular thanks! Added both:

  • CI: grok/** in the path filter, and a plugins step that installs Grok 1.0.70 (pinned in cli/e2e/clients.json) with xAI's installer and runs grok plugin validate ./grok. Checked the same step locally in a fresh HOME.
  • README: until box is in xAI's marketplace, step 2 points at grok plugin install simular-ai/box-plugin#grok (tested, installs box).
    For the xai-org entry I'll keep keywords to brand names only.

@dora-dotcom this now conflicts with main in README.md (the client table). Could you rebase it? I'll take another look at the two commits added after my approval once it's rebased.

Merged main into the branch to fix the README conflict (kept both the OpenAI and Grok rows, and the grok/ release line next to the new CLI notes); a squash merge comes out the same as a rebase. No other changes. The two commits after your approval: the CI step (grok plugin validate) and the README line for installing from this repo until box is in xAI's marketplace.
