Today we’re launching Basedash for Grok Bot — the official Basedash plugin for asking questions of governed company data without leaving your agent.

Install it with /add-plugin basedash, sign in through OAuth, and ask a question. The answer comes back through Basedash from the sources your workspace already lets you access.

The plugin has been live on the official Cursor Marketplace since August 24. It is also available in Cursor.

One command, then OAuth

In Grok Bot, run:

/add-plugin basedash

Choose Basedash — handle basedash — and complete the sign-in flow. There are no API keys to copy, tokens to paste, or local servers to keep running.

Install Basedash with one command, then connect through OAuth with no API keys.

Under the hood, the plugin connects to one hosted remote MCP at https://charts.basedash.com/api/public/mcp. The plugin repo defines the focused tools and skills Grok Bot uses to work with Basedash.

Ask a governed company question

Once you’re signed in, ask the question where you’re already working:

Which accounts drove this quarter’s NRR change?

The ask_question tool sends the question to Basedash and brings the answer back into Grok Bot. You can ask a quick lookup, investigate a change, or continue with a follow-up without moving the conversation to another app.

Ask a company data question in Grok Bot and get the governed answer back through Basedash.

The plugin includes the analyze-company-data skill to guide this analysis. It gives Grok Bot a direct path from the question in chat to an answer grounded in company data.

See which sources are available

Before asking, Grok Bot can call get_data_sources to list the connected sources available to your account. The discover-company-data skill helps it inspect that list and understand where a question can be answered.

That matters when a workspace has several databases, warehouses, or SaaS sources connected. You can see what is available instead of guessing which system holds the answer.

List the connected sources available to your account while Basedash keeps workspace access controls in place.

Signing in does not widen your access. The same workspace access controls that apply in Basedash still apply inside Grok Bot. If your account cannot use a source in Basedash, the plugin does not make that source available.

Plugin, MCP server, and MCP connectors

These three parts solve different jobs:

  • Basedash for Grok Bot puts Basedash inside Grok Bot through an installable plugin.
  • The Basedash MCP server lets agents connect to Basedash through its hosted remote MCP endpoint.
  • MCP connectors bring external sources and tools into Basedash.

This launch is the first one: Basedash living inside Grok Bot, packaged with the tools and skills it needs.

Getting started

  1. Open Basedash on the Cursor Marketplace
  2. Run /add-plugin basedash in Grok Bot
  3. Sign in to Basedash through OAuth
  4. Ask a company data question or list the sources available to you

Install Basedash for Grok Bot and ask your first governed company data question.
