## Introduction

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

## 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 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Certifier to Codex

### How to install Certifier 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 Certifier MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Certifier MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Certifier account. It provides structured and secure access to your digital credential management, so your agent can create, issue, send, and organize certificates and credentials on your behalf.
- Instant credential creation and issuing: Instruct your agent to create, issue, and send new digital certificates or badges to recipients in a single seamless workflow.
- Automated credential delivery: Have your agent send published credentials directly to recipients via email with just a simple command.
- Credential activity insights: Let the agent retrieve and summarize interaction events—like views or downloads—for any issued credential.
- Design and template management: Ask your agent to list available certificate or badge designs, making it easy to select and use templates for new credentials.
- Group and recipient organization: Enable your agent to fetch and organize groups of recipients, streamlining large-scale credential distribution.

Key benefits of this setup:
- Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
- Natural language commands for Certifier operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
- CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking Codex to perform various Certifier operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Certifier MCP?

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

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

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