How Grok API (xAI) reaches your HighLevel account

MCP

HighLevel MCP. Connects straight to HighLevel's official MCP server with a Private Integration Token kept on your machine or server.

Set up Grok API (xAI) with HighLevel in 3 steps

1. Get an xAI API key.
2. Add HighLevel as a remote MCP tool with headers (extra_headers in the xAI SDK).
3. Use allowed_tools to limit which HighLevel tools load.

Python (OpenAI-compatible)

import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ["XAI_API_KEY"], base_url="https://api.x.ai/v1")
resp = client.responses.create(
  model="grok-4.3",  # check docs.x.ai for current models
  input="Which opportunities moved stages this week?",
  tools=[{
    "type": "mcp",
    "server_label": "highlevel",
    "server_url": "https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["GHL_PIT"],
      "locationId": os.environ["GHL_LOCATION_ID"]
    }
  }]
)

Create the token in the sub-account under Settings → Private Integrations. Keep it in your environment, a secure prompt or the tool's credential store; never paste it into a shared file.
