Start a free trial, paste your website so Brew writes your brand files, and connect your sending domain.
Go to grok.com/connectors, click New Connector and choose Custom.
Enter https://brew.new/api/mcp and sign in to Brew. Grok finds Brew’s tools and uses them in your conversations.
Describe the email or flow. Brew asks you to confirm before anything is sent or goes live.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Grok over MCP and your agent gets every Brew tool. It designs emails from your brand, builds audiences, runs automations and schedules sends. OAuth and organization-scoped MCP connections ask you to confirm live sends and launches. Brand-scoped API keys can execute permitted calls without the MCP confirmation step.
Paste your website and Brew writes your brand into two files your agent reads for every email. Describe the email and it appears on the canvas, ready to edit by hand or in chat.

Partly. Grok can write copy, make images with Grok Imagine and send the odd email from your own Gmail or Outlook. On its own it does not design a finished, on-brand email, hold your contacts, send from your domain or run automations.
Not marketing email. Grok’s Gmail and Outlook connectors send from your own mailbox, but it has no contact list, unsubscribes or sending domain.
Connected to Brew, Grok sends campaigns from your own domain to your audiences, with unsubscribes handled, after you approve.
xAI says custom connectors are available to all Grok users on grok.com. On Grok Business and Enterprise, an admin adds the connector first. Open Connectors: Go to grok.com/connectors, click New Connector and choose Custom. Add Brew: Enter https://brew.new/api/mcp and sign in to Brew. Grok finds Brew’s tools and uses them in your conversations. Ask Grok for an email: Describe the email or flow. Brew asks you to confirm before anything is sent or goes live.
xAI says connectors are available to all Grok users, so no paid plan is documented. On Grok Business and Enterprise, an admin adds the connector in the xAI console first.
Grok writes good copy, but on its own it does not design the email from your brand. Brew does: it writes your brand into files your agent reads for every email, then designs the layout, copy and images and tests how it renders.
No. Over OAuth, Brew asks you to confirm before anything is sent or goes live, so the assistant drafts and you approve.
