How to Create Your Waitlist with Grok

Hook Grok up to the UseWait MCP server and get a live waitlist from one prompt: slug, page code, confirmation email, assets, and signup tracking.

Grok's agentic tooling can drive any MCP server, and UseWait's is built to be driven: self-documenting tools, strict contracts, and a hosted page that goes live the second it is created. Connect the two and a single prompt turns an idea into a working waitlist with a shareable URL. Here is how to create your waitlist with Grok.

Set up your waitlist with Grok

1

Create a UseWait API key

A free account works. In Dashboard, Settings, API Keys create a key and copy the uw_live_... value immediately; only its hash is kept on the server.

2

Point Grok at the server

Add the configuration below wherever your Grok agent accepts MCP server configuration. The endpoint is streamable HTTP with a bearer token, the standard remote MCP shape, so most MCP-capable Grok setups connect without extra tooling.

Grok MCP configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "usewait": {
      "url": "https://usewait.com/api/mcp/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer uw_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

One prompt, one waitlist

Prompt: "Create a waitlist for my space-news newsletter using the usewait tools. Pick the slug, design a bold dark page, and add the confirmation email." Grok reads get_started for the flow, get_page_format for the contract, and returns a live usewait.com/w/<slug> URL.

Run your launch from chat

Ask Grok to bump the referral boost, upload art to the CDN, adjust SEO metadata, or connect your own domain. Domain setup replies with the exact A record to create; after DNS propagates, a retry activates it with automatic SSL.

What Grok handles for you

Picks and claims a unique slug
Writes page code matched to your brand

Frequently asked questions

Does this need a paid UseWait plan?

No. MCP and API access are included on all plans. Certain capabilities, custom domains among them, depend on which plan you are on.

What does the MCP surface cover?

25 tools: full waitlist lifecycle, signups and referral stats, page code, email templates, CDN asset uploads, custom domains, Turnstile keys, and external database connections.

How fast is a page live?

Instantly. create_waitlist returns a usewait.com/w/<slug> URL that is already serving, using either the default template or the page code your agent supplies.

And if my setup cannot speak MCP?

Use the REST API at usewait.com/api/v1 with the same key. GET /api/v1 returns a machine-readable endpoint index designed to be pasted into any agent's context.

Get your API key and let Grok launch it

Free plan includes full API and MCP access. Your agent does the rest.
