Boterly

What Boterly does

Boterly exposes a catalog of Grok Bot templates through MCP. Templates are organized around practical jobs and include metadata such as a slug, name, tagline, category, required plugins, and usage level. Searching does not require a key, and an empty search query returns the complete catalog.

The server also provides installation guidance. A template can be added to the current Bot without changing its role, or represented as a setup prompt for creating a new Bot. For broader setups, Boterly can install a complete role bundle in one operation. Available bundles cover founder, creator, researcher, developer, and inbox workflows.

How it works

Boterly is accessed as a remote MCP server. An MCP-compatible agent calls the exposed tools, rather than interacting with the website through a browser. Catalog searches are available without authentication. Installing templates, checking account state, and related account operations use a free-account Bearer key.

When installing into the current Bot, Boterly adds the selected template's skills, rules, and paused routines while preserving the Bot's existing role. The alternative new_bot target returns instructions to paste as the first message of a new Bot. Bundle installation applies the templates associated with one supported role in a single request.

Setup and configuration

Create a free Boterly account and provide its Bearer key to the MCP client for operations that install or inspect account templates. Search can be used without that key. The server is remote, so configuration consists of adding its MCP endpoint and authentication details to a compatible client.

Keep the Bearer key private and use an account with enough remaining installs for the requested operation. The account tools can show the plan and installs left.

Tools and capabilities

• search_templates finds templates by job. Leave query empty to list all available templates.
• install_template returns step-by-step instructions for a selected template. It supports this_bot and new_bot targets.
• install_bundle applies a supported role kit: founder, creator, researcher, developer, or inbox.
• my_templates lists installed templates, identifies templates with newer versions, and reports plan and remaining installs. Re-run install_template to update a template.
• diagnose_problem looks up sourced fixes for issues such as routines not running, missing skills after import, unavailable plugins, or excessive usage.

The role bundles group related templates. For example, the developer kit covers PR and CI monitoring, root-cause debugging, and code walkthroughs, while the researcher kit covers claim checking, source audits, memo review, and consensus mapping.

Limitations and notes

Boterly is independent and is not affiliated with xAI, SpaceXAI, Grok, or Cursor. Search does not need authentication, but installation and account-related actions require a free-account Bearer key. Updating an installed template is handled by running install_template again rather than by a separate update tool.
