A help guide for Grok, an AI assistant, covering its setup, configuration, connected services, and user features.

It is for answering questions about authentication, settings, MCP servers, skills, slash commands, keyboard shortcuts, and other Grok features.

It gives users a place to check instructions when they are installing, configuring, or troubleshooting Grok.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00053	$0.00650
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.00325
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00130
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00065

Security

Grade A, and why

help scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to help — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Grok Help

Answer the user's question about Grok setup, configuration, or features.

Steps

If the question is about current config (what MCP servers, models, or settings are active), read ~/.grok/config.toml. MCP servers are under [mcp_servers.*] sections.
If the question is about how to do something (setup, adding MCP servers, creating skills, authentication, keyboard shortcuts, troubleshooting), first check the user-guide docs at ~/.grok/docs/user-guide/. The available guides are:
- 01-getting-started.md -- Installation, first launch, basic interaction
- 02-authentication.md -- Browser login, API keys, OIDC, external auth
- 03-keyboard-shortcuts.md -- Complete key bindings reference
- 04-slash-commands.md -- All / commands
- 05-configuration.md -- config.toml, pager.toml, env vars
- 06-theming.md -- Themes, appearance customization
- 07-mcp-servers.md -- MCP server setup and management
- 08-skills.md -- Creating and using skills
- 09-plugins.md -- Plugin marketplace
- 10-hooks.md -- Lifecycle hooks
- 11-custom-models.md -- BYOK, Ollama, OpenAI endpoints
- 12-project-rules.md -- AGENTS.md project rules
- 13-memory.md -- Cross-session memory
- 14-headless-mode.md -- CLI scripting and CI/CD
- 15-agent-mode.md -- ACP/stdio IDE integration
- 16-subagents.md -- Subagents and personas
- 17-sessions.md -- Session management
- 18-sandbox.md -- Sandbox mode
- 19-plan-mode.md -- Plan mode
- 20-background-tasks.md -- Background tasks and monitoring
- 21-terminal-support.md -- tmux, SSH, truecolor, clipboard, /terminal-setup Read the relevant guide(s) for the user's question. If none match, fall back to ~/.grok/README.md for the comprehensive reference.
To modify config for the user, edit ~/.grok/config.toml with search_replace.
To create a skill for the user, create ~/.grok/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (read ~/.grok/docs/user-guide/08-skills.md for the SKILL.md format).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
