Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Api2pdf MCP integration, Codex can merge and optimize PDFs, extract and reorder pages, add headers and footers, and generate barcodes and QR codes, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

How to integrate Api2pdf MCP with Codex
Connect Codex to Api2pdf MCP. Merge monthly invoices into one pdf, extract specific pages from a large pdf, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Api Key
Api2Pdf is a REST API for generating PDFs from HTML, URLs, and documents using powerful engines like wkhtmltopdf and Headless Chrome. It streamlines document conversion and automation for developers and businesses.

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 1700+ 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 Api2pdf 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.
bash
codex mcp login composioVerify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
bash
codex mcp listCodex App
Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.
- Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
- Fill the header and Key fields with
{ "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }. - The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on dashboard.composio.dev
- Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
- Restart and verify if it's there in
.codex/config.toml
bash
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }Try it
Ask Codex for a Api2pdf task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Api2pdf account.
For example, ask it to:
- "Merge monthly invoices into one PDF"
- "Extract specific pages from a large PDF"
- "Add custom header and footer to document"
What is the Api2pdf MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The API2PDF MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your API2PDF account. It provides structured and secure access to PDF and document processing tools, so your agent can create PDFs with headers and footers, merge documents, rearrange pages, reduce file sizes, and generate barcodes or QR codes on your behalf.
- PDF creation and customization: Have your agent convert HTML into a PDF with customizable headers and footers using Headless Chrome.
- Document assembly and page control: Direct your agent to merge multiple PDFs, extract selected pages, or reorder pages into a new sequence.
- PDF optimization and conversion: Let the agent reduce a PDF's file size or convert a PDF document into HTML using LibreOffice.
- Document thumbnail generation: Instruct your agent to create a thumbnail image from a document using LibreOffice.
- Barcode and QR code creation: Have your agent generate barcodes or QR codes for labels, documents, and other workflows.
Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Api2pdf with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Api2pdf directly from your terminal, VS Code, or the Codex App using natural language commands.
Key benefits of this setup:
- Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
- Natural language commands for Api2pdf operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1700+ apps for cross-app workflows
- CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking Codex to perform various Api2pdf operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
With a standalone Api2pdf MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Api2pdf tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Api2pdf and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.
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 Api2pdf tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Api2pdf 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.
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 Api2pdf data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
