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.

How to install College football data 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.

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 dashboard.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

What is the College football data MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The College football data MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your College Football Data account. It provides structured and secure access to comprehensive college football stats, schedules, advanced analytics, and recruiting data, so your agent can fetch game results, analyze team performance, retrieve broadcast info, and explore historical metrics on your behalf.

  • Retrieve game schedules and results: Instantly fetch upcoming games, past scores, and matchup outcomes filtered by season, week, team, or conference.
  • Analyze advanced team and player stats: Have your agent pull in-depth box scores, advanced metrics, and season-long analytics to compare team or player performance.
  • Access media and broadcast information: Quickly get details on TV, radio, and streaming coverage for selected games, including broadcast schedules and platforms.
  • Review team talent and recruiting rankings: Let your agent track composite team talent scores and recruiting class data across seasons for any program.
  • Explore historical conference and division data: Effortlessly trace a team's conference membership history, division alignment, and related metadata over time.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and College football data MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for College football data while using Tool Router?

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