Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Beamer MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

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 Beamer 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
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
Codex 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 connect.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
What is the Beamer MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Beamer MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Beamer account. It provides structured and secure access to your Beamer news posts, notifications, and categories, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving posts, counting updates, fetching notifications, and managing user engagement—all on your behalf.
- Instant post retrieval and listing: Ask your agent to fetch the latest product updates or announcements, or list all posts with their IDs and titles for quick reference.
- Engagement analytics and reactions: Have the agent pull post reaction data, so you can understand how users are responding to your news and updates.
- Notification management: Let your agent retrieve unread notifications or fetch full details about specific notifications, helping you stay on top of user engagement in real time.
- Comment and feedback access: Easily get all comments on a particular post, enabling you to review direct user feedback and respond accordingly.
- Feed and category insights: Fetch personalized feed URLs or retrieve detailed information about categories to better segment and embed announcement streams for your users.

FAQ
What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Beamer MCP?
With a standalone Beamer MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Beamer tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Beamer 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 Beamer tools.
Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Beamer while using Tool Router?
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Beamer 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 Beamer data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
