MCP
Connect your AI assistant to Rox to use enrichment, prospecting, and sequence tools in simple terms.
The Rox Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets compatible AI tools access supported Rox capabilities. You sign in with your Rox account through OAuth, and actions run with your Rox permissions.
Public alpha: Available tools, the server URL, and setup instructions may change during the alpha. Most Rox application capabilities are not yet exposed through MCP.
What you can do
Use Rox from a compatible AI tool to:
Enrich companies and people.
Find and validate prospects.
Work with sequences, including looking up sequences, reviewing steps and prospects, and adding prospects.
The tools available in your connected client determine which actions you can perform.
Before you start
You need:
A Rox account.
An AI client that supports remote MCP connections and OAuth.
Permission to add a custom MCP connection in that client or workspace.
Rox has announced support for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Setup varies by client.
Connection details
Setting | Value |
|---|---|
Name |
|
MCP server URL |
|
Authentication | OAuth |
Use the URL exactly as shown, without a trailing slash.
MCP uses your Rox sign-in. You do not need to create an API key for this connection.
Connect your AI tool
Open your AI tool’s settings for custom MCP servers or apps.
Create a connection using the name and server URL above.
Select OAuth authentication. Leave OAuth client ID and client secret fields blank if shown.
Review and accept the connection prompt.
Sign in with your Rox account and approve the access request.
Check that the client displays the available Rox tools.
For ChatGPT, follow OpenAI’s current custom MCP server setup instructions. Workspace permissions may determine who can create and publish connections.
Try your first request
Enable Rox in a new conversation and start with a request that reads existing data:
Using Rox, show me my sequences.
Then ask:
Show me the steps and prospects in “[sequence name].”
For a request that changes data, identify the intended sequence and prospects clearly:
Add [prospect email] to “[sequence name].”
Review the requested action and any approval prompts before proceeding. Adding prospects changes the sequence. Check its sending settings before adding contacts.
Access and permissions
Rox tools run as the signed-in user and respect that user’s Rox permissions.
If your AI workspace supports sharing a custom connection, each team member should authenticate with their own Rox account. Sharing the connection does not grant additional Rox permissions.
Troubleshooting
Issue | What to check |
|---|---|
You cannot create a custom connection | Check your AI client’s plan and workspace permissions. Ask your workspace administrator if access is restricted. |
Connection creation fails or returns a 404 | Confirm the server URL matches the connection details exactly, with no trailing slash. |
Sign-in succeeds, but tools return a 401 | Disconnect and reconnect Rox to authenticate again. |
The tool list is empty or outdated | Refresh the connection’s tools where supported. |
An action is unavailable | Check the exposed tool list. The alpha supports only a subset of Rox functionality. |
