Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Botsonic 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 Botsonic MCP in Codex

Run the setup command

Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

Terminal

It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.

Composio authentication page

(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 composio

Verify the connection

Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.

bash
codex mcp list

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

  1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
  2. Fill the header and Key fields with { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }.
  3. The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on connect.composio.dev
  4. Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
Codex App MCP setup
  1. 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_*******" }

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

The Botsonic MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Botsonic account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbots, enabling your agent to manage bots, upload training data, oversee conversations, and handle FAQs with ease.

  • Bulk training data uploads: Effortlessly upload multiple URLs or documents to your bot for rapid and comprehensive training updates.
  • Bot management and retrieval: Instantly list all your bots, fetch detailed data, or export entire bot assets for backup or review.
  • Conversation analytics and monitoring: Retrieve all conversations related to any bot—perfect for analyzing user interactions or tracking support queries.
  • FAQ and starter question management: List, update, or remove FAQ entries and starter questions to keep your chatbot responses relevant and up to date.
  • Data and file cleanup: Direct your agent to delete outdated files or bot data, ensuring your chatbot remains efficient and well-organized.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Botsonic with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Botsonic 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 Botsonic operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • 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 Botsonic 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 Botsonic MCP?

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

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

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