Grok Bot can now get inside your private network (safely): it joins your Tailscale tailnet to reach internal tools
Grok Bot can now join your personal tailnet or your company's tailnet on Tailscale, so it can reach private MCP servers, internal tools and apps on your network without you exposing them to the public internet. The Bot joins as a device tied to your own identity, so your tailnet access rules and audit logs still apply. On Tailscale Premium or Enterprise, admins can use a custom grokbot posture to let the Bot reach only chosen servers, such as tagged MCP servers, instead of everything your laptop can reach.
Why it matters
Lots of useful company data sits behind a VPN. This lets an always-on agent use internal MCP servers and dashboards while you keep tight, auditable control of what it can touch.
Who it's for
Grok Bot users and team admins who run internal MCP servers, dashboards or tools on Tailscale.
How to try it
- In Grok Bot desktop, open Connect apps > Your plugins and add Tailscale.
- Click Authenticate on your tailnet's slot and approve the device on Tailscale's consent screen.
- Admins: limit the Bot with a posture or tag rule so it can only reach your MCP servers, not your whole network.
- Add your internal MCP server by its .ts.net address and ask the Bot to use it for one small, read-only task first.
Plan & availability: Through the Tailscale plugin in the Grok Bot desktop app (Connect apps > Your plugins). Personal tailnet: the member must own or administer it. Company tailnet: a team admin enables it under Integrations > Tailscale and needs Tailscale Premium or Enterprise; xAI's plugin page lists company tailnets as beta. Grok Bot needs a Grok Bot plan (sold through The X Subscription for new buyers). Checked against the official X post, the Tailscale plugin README and Tailscale's blog on November 11, 2026.
