I'm one click away from upgrading to Grok Super.
I'm seriously falling in love with Grok @bot.
But what if I could just make it use Claude for coding instead of delegating tasks to Cursor?
Has anyone tried this?

I had Grok Bot go through the replies and check which setups actually work.
Verified ones below, updated as new replies come in 🧵
How to read this:
✅ works
⚠️ works, but with real risks
❌ doesn't work / avoid
Key point: Grok Bot picks its own model, no picker, no switch. Every setup = Grok Bot orchestrating, another tool coding on your sub.
✅ Claude Code / Codex on the bot's cloud box
How: install it, log in with claude setup-token (Codex: codex login --device-auth)
Cost: your Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT plan
Catch: all your bots share that login
h/t @AkbarLalani
💡 Tip for the setup above
Run it in tmux, have Claude ping the bot when done.
Letting Grok Bot watch the terminal burns its usage.
h/t @montasees
✅ Claude Code scheduled tasks (ex-routines) fired via API
How: add an API trigger on https://claude.ai, Grok Bot POSTs to /fire, it runs on Anthropic's cloud
Cost: your Claude Pro+ plan
Catch: research preview, beta API, needs a GitHub repo to code
h/t @loekbosman
✅ Claude Code on your own machine
How: Grok Bot runs it via local execution in the desktop app
Cost: your Claude plan
Catch: app and machine must stay on, approve each command
h/t @AltHarbor
✅ Not only Claude: Codex and Kimi Code
How: same box setup. Codex: codex login --device-auth. Kimi: /login with device code
Cost: your ChatGPT or Kimi plan
Catch: Codex device login is beta, enable it in ChatGPT settings first
h/t @trile_412
⚠️ @t3dotcodes as a connector
How: Grok Bot drives T3 Code over MCP via a T3 Connect URL
Cost: free, open source (MIT) + your Codex/Claude plan
Catch: needs a public URL. Claude runs via the Agent SDK, a grey zone with subs. Safer with Codex
h/t @chiefwalde @siddbtw
commit 2660d74
⚠️ herdr + homemade MCP bridge
How: herdr keeps agent sessions alive, a bridge you build exposes them to Grok Bot
Cost: free, open source
Catch: no native Grok Bot support. A public bridge = a shell on the internet. Lock it down hard
h/t @ziyan
❌ @opencode with Claude Pro/Max
Why: login removed in v1.3.0 (March) after Anthropic's legal request. Plugins that re-add it go against Anthropic's terms, users report bans
h/t @west_linux
💡 Tip for Claude Code on the box or your machine
Start it with claude --remote-control (or /rc in a session) and watch or steer the run from the Claude app.
Needs a https://claude.ai login on Pro/Max, API keys don't work.
h/t @D0NQUIX0T3_
@opencode @west_linux @D0NQUIX0T3_ 💡 Tip for Claude Code on the box
Hand Claude the goal, context and what done looks like, not a step-by-step script from the bot.
Over-specified prompts throw away what Claude is best at: planning the work itself.
h/t @jakewalters
@opencode @west_linux @D0NQUIX0T3_ @jakewalters 💡 Tip for Claude Code on the box
Don't sync files between your laptop and the bot by hand.
Push to a GitHub repo and let the bot pull it, so both sides work on the same code.
