Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 870+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.
How to install Active campaign MCP in Codex
Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.
It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth
To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
Verify the connection

What is the Active campaign MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The ActiveCampaign MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ActiveCampaign account. It provides structured and secure access to your marketing automation and CRM data, so your agent can perform actions like adding contacts, managing deals, creating tasks, and organizing pipelines on your behalf.
- Automated contact management: Easily add new contacts, update details, or attach notes so your customer database stays current and actionable.
- Sales pipeline creation and management: Let your agent create, customize, or delete deal pipelines and organize deals through every stage of your sales process.
- Task and activity automation: Have your agent create tasks for contacts and deals, assign due dates, and ensure important follow-ups never slip through the cracks.
- Deal and account organization: Automatically create, update, or remove accounts and associate them with the right contacts and opportunities for seamless CRM workflows.
- Seamless automation enrollment: Add contacts directly to specific automations, personalizing your marketing or sales outreach at scale without manual effort.

FAQ
What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Active campaign MCP?
With a standalone Active campaign MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Active campaign tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Active campaign and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.
Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex?
Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Active campaign tools.
Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Active campaign while using Tool Router?
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Active campaign scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.
How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?
All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Active campaign data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
