People open Grok to find out what's happening right now and starting today, the official Bigdata.com connector is live in Grok, so company, market and macro data comes straight into the conversation, with the source attached.
It's built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and works on Grok Web and in the Grok app. There's nothing to install, and setup is a few clicks.
Why it matters for Grok users
Any assistant can talk about a business. Whether it gets the figures right depends on where those figures come from. Without a dependable financial source, you get last year's numbers mixed with whatever the open web happened to say.
Connect Bigdata.com and Grok works from the same data institutional teams use every day:
Over 1 billion financial documents: news, filings, earnings call transcripts and research
Real-time feeds that pick up market-moving events as they break
More than 20 years of history, so you can put today in context or backtest an idea
Structured company, market and macro data sitting right next to the text
A source on every answer, so you always know where a number came from
What Grok users can ask for

See it in action
Once you've added the connector, tag it in your prompt. Try something like:
@Bigdata.com Can you provide me with a company profile of Micron?
Grok passes the request to Bigdata.com, works out which company you mean and comes back with a profile built on current data, not on whatever made it into its training set.
If you're an analyst, a portfolio manager or on a data team, and Grok is already open on your screen most of the day, this one's for you. You can stop flipping to a terminal every time you need to check a number. And when someone asks where a figure came from, you'll have the source right there.
Setup takes four steps:
Open Connectors in Grok settings.
Scroll to the Finance category, or search for "Bigdata".
Click the Bigdata.com connector, then click Connect.
Sign in to your Bigdata.com account to authorize access.
Once you've signed in, the Bigdata.com Official Connector shows up as added, and you can use it in any conversation.
