Introduction

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

Composio removes the Authentication handling completely from you. We handle the entire integration lifecycle, and all you need to do is just copy the URL below, authenticate inside Codex, and start using it.

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 Bitquery MCP in Codex

Codex CLI

Run the command in your terminal.

Terminal

This will auto-redirect you to the Rube authentication page.

Rube authentication redirect page

Once you're authenticated, you will be able to access the tools.

Verify the installation by running:

codex mcp list

If you otherwise prefer to use config.toml, add the following URL to it. You can get the bearer token from rube.app → Use Rube → MCP URL → Generate token

[projects."/home/user/composio"]
trust_level = "untrusted"

[mcp_servers.rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex in VS Code

If you have installed Codex in VS Code.

Then: ⚙️ → MCP Settings → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

Add the Rube MCP URL: https://rube.app/mcp and the bearer token.

VS Code MCP Settings

To verify, click on the Open config.toml

Open config toml in Codex

Make sure it's there:

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

  1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
Codex App MCP Settings
  1. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"
  1. Save, restart the extension, and start working.

What is the Bitquery MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Bitquery MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bitquery account. It provides structured and secure access to blockchain datasets and real-time analytics, so your agent can perform actions like querying historical transactions, streaming mempool activity, selecting blockchain networks, and aggregating metrics across 40+ supported chains.

  • Seamless blockchain data querying: Let your agent run powerful queries on historical or real-time blockchain data across multiple networks using Bitquery's combined or archive databases.
  • Live mempool monitoring: Subscribe and stream pending transactions from EVM-compatible chains in real time, enabling instant insights into network activity as it happens.
  • On-demand network and database selection: Have your agent dynamically select blockchain networks and datasets—like Ethereum, BNB Chain, or others—to tailor queries for your specific use case.
  • Metric aggregation and analysis: Automate the aggregation of transaction counts, unique values, or conditional metrics, empowering your agent to analyze blockchain trends without manual intervention.
  • Advanced GraphQL customization: Use aliases and conditional snippets to refine data responses, ensuring clarity and precise control in complex blockchain analytics workflows.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Aliases MetricTool to use graphql aliases to rename fields in the response for clarity and disambiguation.
Archive Database QueryTool to query the archive database.
Combined Database QueryTool to query the combined database, which merges archive and real-time databases.

Count Distinct MetricTool to use the count distinct metric to aggregate unique values for a field.
Count MetricTool to use the count metric to aggregate the number of records matching a graphql query.
Database SelectionTool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request.
Early Access Program QueryTool to access streaming data across various blockchain networks for evaluation purposes.
Mempool SubscriptionTool to subscribe to real-time mempool updates for evm chains (ethereum, bnb, etc.
Network SelectionTool to select the blockchain network for graphql queries.
Options QueryTool to fetch graphql dataset options via schema introspection.
Price Asymmetry MetricTool to generate graphql priceasymmetry filter snippet.
Quantile MetricTool to calculate quantiles to understand the distribution of numerical data.
Realtime Database QueryRealtime database query
Select By MetricTool to generate a graphql metric snippet filtering by its value using selectwhere.
Statistics MetricTool to compute statistical metrics (mean, median, etc.
Sum MetricTool to calculate the sum of a specified field's values across defined dimensions.
Uniq MetricTool to estimate the count of unique values using the uniq metric.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Bitquery with Codex using Composio's Rube MCP server. Now you can interact with Bitquery 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 Bitquery operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio's Rube
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 870+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking Codex to perform various Bitquery operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Bitquery MCP?

With a standalone Bitquery MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Bitquery tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Bitquery 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 Bitquery tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Bitquery while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Bitquery 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 Bitquery data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
