Having the same issue, but on Mac in Edge browser. Pretty sure it'll happen no matter the browser.

I use the Grok Bot application exclusively for coding, and GitHub is essential to that workflow. In its current state, Grok Bot is unusable as long as the GitHub connector can’t authenticate.

I also ran into another extremely frustrating problem: at some point none of the bots could interact with their sandboxes, reporting that their MCP tooling didn’t work. On top of that, all three bots were stuck in a stale “bot is working” state, which prevented me from updating their computers.

I don’t understand how this application was released in its current form.
