And MCP makes the experience even better. With Benzinga MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Benzinga with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benzinga/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### 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. ## Connect Benzinga to Codex ### How to install Benzinga MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Benzinga MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Benzinga MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Benzinga account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time financial news and market data, so your agent can track earnings, monitor analyst ratings, stream news, and analyze economic events on your behalf. - Live financial news streaming: Instantly stream real-time news updates, market-moving events, and breaking headlines as they happen so your agent always stays informed. - Earnings and conference call tracking: Automatically retrieve upcoming earnings dates, actuals, estimates, and conference call details for any ticker or date range. - Analyst sentiment and ratings insights: Fetch consensus analyst ratings, price targets, and detailed rating calendars to help evaluate stock sentiment and trends. - Economic event analysis: Access comprehensive economic calendar events, including values, consensus, and importance filters to understand macroeconomic impacts. - Audit and manage removed items: Identify and review deleted news articles or cancelled calendar events for full transparency and compliance. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BENZINGA_GET_CALENDAR_EARNINGS_STREAM` | Get Calendar Earnings Stream | Tool to subscribe to real-time earnings calendar events via websocket. use when you need immediate updates as reports are announced. | | `BENZINGA_GET_CONFERENCE_CALLS` | Get Conference Calls | Tool to retrieve upcoming and historical conference call details such as times, tickers, and webcast urls. use when filtering conference calls by date range or ticker symbols. | | `BENZINGA_GET_CONSENSUS_RATINGS` | Get Consensus Ratings | Tool to get consensus analyst ratings and price targets for a specified ticker over a date range. use when you need to gauge analyst sentiment and target price consensus for investment decisions. | | `BENZINGA_GET_EARNINGS_V21` | Get Earnings Calendar V2.1 | Tool to retrieve earnings calendar data (v2.1). use when you need dates, estimates, and actuals for upcoming earnings events. | | `BENZINGA_GET_ECONOMICS` | Get Economics | Tool to retrieve economic calendar events including actual, consensus, and prior values and importance. use when filtering by date, country, importance, or updated timestamp. | | `BENZINGA_GET_NEWSFEED_STREAM` | Get Newsfeed Stream | Tool to stream real-time news events via websocket. use when you need immediate updates to news as they are created, updated, or removed. | | `BENZINGA_GET_RATINGS` | Get Analyst Ratings | Tool to fetch analyst ratings calendar data including rating actions, price targets, and analyst details. use when querying upcoming or historical analyst ratings. | | `BENZINGA_GET_REMOVED` | Get Removed | Tool to retrieve removed or cancelled calendar events. use when you need to identify calendar items removed for specific event types or filtered by removal timestamp. | | `BENZINGA_GET_REMOVED_NEWS` | Get Removed News | Tool to retrieve news articles that have been deleted from the database. use when you need to fetch removed articles with pagination and timestamp filters. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Benzinga MCP server provides comprehensive access to Benzinga operations through Composio.

With a standalone Benzinga MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Benzinga tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Benzinga 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 Benzinga tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Benzinga while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Benzinga 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 Benzinga data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
