How do I get my Grok Bot into the Marketplace?

The official Marketplace form is for plugins and MCP servers, not for a Grok Bot. Here's the limit, and what you can do instead.

Short answer

The official Marketplace form is for plugins and MCP servers, not for a Grok Bot. Here's the limit, and what you can do instead.

The official form to get something listed in the Marketplace is for plugins and MCP servers, not for a Grok Bot. I didn't find an official page that explains how a Bot template gets listed there. What you can do today is share your Bot as a template and copy the public link. The Grok Bot Template Rewards Pilot is a separate program, and it is invite-only.

The Marketplace form is not for your Bot

I checked SpaceXSI's Submit a plugin page, and it says, "Distribute your plugin or MCP server to Grok (coming soon), Grok Bot, and Cursor users. Submit it below and we'll review it for the marketplace." The form asks for an MCP server URL or a public GitHub repository. It does not ask you to submit a Bot or a template.

SpaceXSI's Grok Bot changelog for September 29, 2026 has this line: "Marketplace focuses on plugins: Featured Bots and Bot search results no longer appear, and the search box reads Search plugins." The October 2, 2026 entry follows with "Marketplace is now Connect Apps, with category chips under the search, Recommended for you first, and Bot templates on the web."

Those changelog lines are about the Marketplace inside the app. The web Marketplace page still lists featured Bots you can add. I didn't find a form or any instructions on that page for how to get your own Bot listed there.

You can still share your Bot as a template and give people a link.

Click the Bot's name at the top of the chat to open its details, choose Share, then choose Create a copy. The Bot builds a template and posts it in the chat. On iPhone and Android, open the Bot's menu and choose Share as Template.
Choose Publish on the template card. A new template link is public, so take out API keys, internal URLs, customer data, and anything else you wouldn't put in a public document before you share.
Choose Copy link and send it. The person who opens it sees a preview on x.ai and can choose Add to Grok Bot. They need the Grok Bot app to finish adding it.
After you publish, the same Share menu has View template details, Update template to push your latest changes, and Delete Template to turn off the link.

What a template brings over, and what to check if you look at one, is on What does a Grok Bot template bring over?.

The Template Rewards Pilot is invite-only

If you're asking how to join the Grok Bot Template Rewards Pilot, that's a separate program from listing a Bot on the Marketplace. X's Grok Bot Template Rewards Pilot Program Terms, last updated November 10, 2026, have this line: "During the Pilot Period, participation is by invitation only."

X's Help Center page for the program asks, "Do I apply, or wait for an invite?" and answers, "The pilot is invite-only. Meeting the requirements above doesn't guarantee an invite or a reward." The first step under How it works is, "You get an invitation to the pilot." I didn't find a public application form on those official pages. For people outside the United States, that Help Center page's answer is "Not yet. Rewards are paid through X Money, which is currently only available in the United States."

What we couldn't find

I didn't find an official page that explains how a Bot template gets listed on the Marketplace. I also didn't find an official way to request an invitation to the Template Rewards Pilot.
