How to Connect Google Sheets to Grok Bot

Query your Google Sheets data directly from Grok Bot using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Short answer

Connect Google Sheets to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to Grok Bot using the config on this page. Grok Bot can then query your live Google Sheets data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.

Connect to your agent
What you can ask Grok Bot
  • What sheets are in this spreadsheet?

How it works

Three steps to get started

1

Connect Google Sheets to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Google Sheets. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

2

Add Sequel to the agent

Follow the steps below to add Sequel to Grok Bot. It signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no key to copy.

3

Ask Grok Bot about your data

Restart Grok Bot and start asking questions. "What sheets are in this spreadsheet?" — and get a real answer backed by live Google Sheets data.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Grok Bot

Use it in Grok Bot → chat (then Settings → Plugins → Yours). Grok Bot signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to paste.

Grok Bot → chat (then Settings → Plugins → Yours)

Add a custom MCP server called sequel at https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Then: confirm the name and URL when the bot asks, click Authorize on the
connect card, and sign in to Sequel. Attach it in a chat with @sequel.

Install

Install Google Sheets MCP in Grok Bot

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

Add Sequel to Grok Bot

Send to the bot

Add a custom MCP server called sequel at https://api.sequel.sh/mcp
  1. 1Paste the message above into a chat with your bot. Say “custom server”, otherwise it searches the plugin marketplace instead.
  2. 2The bot reads the name and URL back. Check them, then click Add it.
  3. 3Click Authorize on the connect card and sign in to Sequel.
  4. 4Type @ in the chat, attach sequel, and ask a question that needs your data.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Google Sheets to Grok Bot?

You need two things: (1) connect Google Sheets to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Grok Bot using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Grok Bot can query your Google Sheets data directly.

What Google Sheets data can Grok Bot access?

Grok Bot can access any data available through your Google Sheets connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Google Sheets data sent to Grok Bot's servers?

Query results are returned to Grok Bot as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Google Sheets and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Google Sheets and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Google Sheets accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Google Sheets accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Grok Bot will be able to query all of them.
