Grok Search
Search and research using Grok AI via browser automation with Claude in Chrome MCP.
Prerequisites
- Claude in Chrome MCP extension installed and configured
- Logged into grok.com in Chrome
Quick Start
Direct URL Query (Recommended)
Use URL parameters to submit queries directly without manual input:
https://grok.com/?q={your_query}
This automatically submits the query and starts generating results.
Example Workflow
// 1. Create new tab
mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp()
// 2. Navigate with query parameter
mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate({
url: "https://grok.com/?q=your search query here",
tabId: <tab_id>
})
// 3. Wait for results (typically 5-30 seconds for regular, 1-3 minutes for DeepSearch)
mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer({ action: "wait", duration: 10, tabId: <tab_id> })
// 4. Get page text content
mcp__claude-in-chrome__get_page_text({ tabId: <tab_id> })
// 5. Find and click copy button (aria-label="Copy") or (aria-label="复制")
mcp__claude-in-chrome__find({ query: "复制 button", tabId: <tab_id> })
mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer({ action: "left_click", ref: "ref_xxx", tabId: <tab_id> })
// 6. Save to file via clipboard
Bash: pbpaste > result.md
Search Modes
Default Mode (Fast)
- URL:
https://grok.com/?q={query} - Response time: 5-15 seconds
- Best for: Quick questions, simple lookups
DeepSearch Mode (Thorough)
- Requires clicking DeepSearch button before submitting
- Response time: 1-3 minutes
- Best for: Research, comprehensive analysis, multi-source information
To enable DeepSearch:
// After navigating to grok.com (without query param)
mcp__claude-in-chrome__find({ query: "DeepSearch button", tabId: <tab_id> })
mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer({ action: "left_click", ref: "ref_xxx", tabId: <tab_id> })
// Then input query and submit
Common Use Cases
1. Real-time X/Twitter Analysis
Query: "24h内中文热门推特在讨论什么"
Query: "What are trending topics on X about AI in the last 24 hours"
Query: "24h内我关注的中文推特时间线里有哪些热门讨论"
2. News and Current Events
Query: "最近24小时内 Claude 相关的信息有哪些"
Query: "Latest news about [topic] in the past 24 hours"
3. Research Topics
Query: "[Topic] 的最新进展和讨论"
Query: "Comprehensive overview of [topic]"
Handling Results
Method 1: Copy Button (Preferred)
// Find copy button using aria-label
mcp__claude-in-chrome__find({ query: "复制 button", tabId: <tab_id> })
// Click to copy content to clipboard
mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer({ action: "left_click", ref: "ref_xxx", tabId: <tab_id> })
// Save from clipboard
Bash: pbpaste > result.md
Method 2: Direct Text Extraction (Fallback)
// If copy button fails, extract text directly
const text = mcp__claude-in-chrome__get_page_text({ tabId: <tab_id> })
// Then save content via Write tool
Tips
- Check Generation Status: Look for timing indicators like "思考了 Xs" or "Searching" in page text
- Wait Adequately: DeepSearch can take 1-3 minutes; check periodically with
get_page_text - Tab Management: Create new tabs for parallel searches
- Error Recovery: If extension conflicts occur, try
get_page_textas fallback for content extraction - URL Encoding: Complex queries with special characters should be URL-encoded
Troubleshooting
Extension Conflicts
If you encounter "Cannot access a chrome-extension:// URL" errors:
- Try navigating to a fresh URL
- Use
get_page_textinstead of screenshot - Create a new tab and retry
Results Not Loading
- Increase wait time
- Check if Grok is still generating (look for loading indicators)
- Verify you're logged into grok.com
Copy Button Not Working
- Use
get_page_textto extract content directly - Format and save the text content manually
