Cursor BDK's cursor-grokbot-agents extension lets local agents consult Grok Bot

Cursor's docs describe the BDK extension cursor-grokbot-agents. A local BDK agent can use its ask, check, interrupt and list tools to message Grok Bots on the same account and get their replies back. The docs don't mention native Claude Code or Codex support.

Key Takeaways

  • 4 tools: grokbot__ask / check / interrupt / list
  • @cursor/bdk first published Sep 22, with 22 releases so far (latest 0.2.23)
  • About 9.4k npm downloads last week; needs Node 22.13 or newer
  • No public benchmarks; proprietary Cursor SDK License
  • Claude Code and Codex interop is a community claim, not in the official docs
