Connect Grok to your Locker
Give Grok Build (and other agents) read access to your Locker via MCP. Prefer the native Markdown Locker MCP — search, read, and list notes — over a generic folder mount.
Recommended: native MCP v0
Tools: search_notes, read_note, list_recent.
Read-only. Resolves ~/Documents/Markdown Locker, or legacy ~/Markdown Locker, or MARKDOWN_LOCKER_DIR.
From a clone of the repo:
cd /path/to/markdown-locker/mcp
npm install
grok mcp remove markdown-locker 2>/dev/null
grok mcp add markdown-locker -- node "$PWD/src/server.mjs"
grok mcp doctor markdown-locker
Details: github.com/fortblocks/markdown-locker/mcp
Fallback: filesystem MCP
If you only need raw file access (writes possible — be careful):
grok mcp add markdown-locker-fs -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem \
"$HOME/Documents/Markdown Locker"
Legacy installs may use ~/Markdown Locker instead of Documents.
What to try
- “List recent notes in my Markdown Locker.”
- “Search the Locker for
and summarise.” - “Read decisions.md and list open items.”
grok.com Connectors
Grok on the web supports Custom MCP at grok.com/connectors with a public HTTPS URL. Prefer Grok Build + local MCP for private notes. Do not tunnel your Locker to the public internet. See also Connect grok.com.
Safety
- Native MCP is read-only and scoped to the Locker root.
- Filesystem MCP may allow writes — review tool prompts.
- Never point MCP at
$HOMEas a whole.
