Grok Bot marketplace templates are copies missing secrets and MCP servers
Adding a Grok Bot from the marketplace gives a copy with skills, memories and plugins but without secrets, custom code, MCP servers or personal memories, so users must fix gaps first.
Adding a bot from the Grok Bot marketplace doesn't give you the bot. It gives you a copy! xAI's templates guide says a template carries skills, memories and plugins. it leaves out secrets, custom code and personal memories. Standard plugins come listed but have to be reinstalled. MCP servers and scripts don't come at all. So the bot that ran perfectly for its creator shows up on your account missing whatever it depended on. The first message to send any new bot: "what can't you do yet because a plugin or connection is missing?" Fix that list before you give it work.
