What it is
BreadAdvisor is a bread-baking advisor. Connected to Grok as a custom connector, it works with your real baking data — your saved recipes, your bake history, your version-by-version results — instead of answering from general knowledge about bread.
Everything the connector does runs through the same BreadAdvisor service as the mobile app, and it's the same connector that powers BreadAdvisor for Claude — one server, added to Grok by hand. Plans you make in a conversation appear in the app's library; bakes you log in the app inform what Grok sees. One account, one library, wherever you work. BreadAdvisor is live on the App Store and Google Play — the connector works the same either way, and you don't need the app at all to use it.
In the Grok app, results come back as the same interactive cards you'd see in Claude — your library, a plan, a dough verdict, a bake diagnosis — under Grok's own reply. When a tool calls for a photo — a dough check or a finished-bake log — and Grok doesn't offer a picker in the card, it hands you a link to the same form our site already uses for that step; open it, submit, and tell Grok you're done so it can fetch the result. Everything else works through normal chat.
What you can do
Plan a bake. Paste a recipe, pick from 11 built-in Starter Recipes, scan a recipe from photos, revise something in your library — or describe what you want and have one drafted for you to review. Every plan computes baker's math in code, not by estimation: hydration, salt, yeast, and fat percentages calculated from your actual ingredient weights, plus what to expect, risk flags, and suggested tweaks. Plans save to your library automatically.
Check your dough. Mid-ferment, ask Grok about your dough. You'll get a link to a photo form — snap one or choose one — and the verdict comes back in the conversation once you tell Grok you've submitted it: ready, wait, or borderline, with the visual evidence spelled out and recheck timing scaled to your recipe's schedule.
Log a bake. Photograph the finished loaf through the same kind of link (crumb shot if you've cut it), and get a scored diagnosis — including a predicted-versus-actual comparison against what your plan expected for crumb, crust, and rise, with the option to share the result as a public link.
Work your library. List your recipes with their computed numbers and walk version history. (Side-by-side version comparison lives in the app and in Claude.)
Example prompts
Say what you want in plain language — BreadAdvisor engages when the request is about your own bread, recipes, or bakes:
- “Find me a sourdough recipe and plan it.”
- “Plan the Classic White Sandwich Bread starter recipe.”
- “What's in my recipe library?”
- “My dough is 4 hours into bulk — is it ready?”
- “I just pulled the loaf out, log it.”
How to connect
BreadAdvisor isn't in a public Grok directory — Grok doesn't have one yet for custom connectors — so you add it by hand, once, and about a minute:
1. On desktop, go to grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom. In the X app, open the Grok tab, then the connectors sheet, then Custom Connectors → Custom Connector. A free Grok account is enough. Connectors are tied to your account, so one you add here also appears in the standalone Grok app (menu → Settings → Connectors) and at grok.com.
2. Paste in the URL https://api.breadadvisor.app/mcp and tap Connect.
3. Grok opens BreadAdvisor's sign-in page. Enter your email — we send an 8-character sign-in code to your inbox, the same sign-in the app uses. No password to create, no card required.
4. Enter the code and approve the connection. If you've used the BreadAdvisor app with the same email, your library is already there. If you're new, a free account is created on the spot.
Then just ask — see example prompts above.
To disconnect at any time, remove BreadAdvisor from Grok's connectors. Access tokens expire on their own.
How photos work
Photos never travel through the conversation. BreadAdvisor hands you a private, single-use link that opens a photo form on our site — take a photo or choose one, and it uploads directly. Photos are held for minutes at most and deleted as soon as they're analyzed, and a shot taken in the form goes straight to the analysis without being saved to your phone — use your camera app first if you want to keep it.
Free and Pro
The connector uses the same account and the same limits as the app: your first three bakes are on us, and dough checks ride along with each bake. BreadAdvisor Pro adds unlimited bakes; subscribe in the BreadAdvisor app or on this site and it applies everywhere, Grok included. There's nothing extra to buy for the connector itself, and nothing to buy through Grok.
Privacy
The short version: we receive only what the tools need — the details of each request and the photos you submit through our own forms. We never see your Grok conversation, and Grok only sees what a tool returns. The full details live in the connector section of our privacy policy.
Questions or trouble
Write to [email protected]. If a sign-in code doesn't arrive, check your spam folder first — codes expire after 15 minutes, and you can always request a fresh one by starting the connection again.
