Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Confluence 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 Confluence MCP in Codex
Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.
It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth
To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
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.
- Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
- Fill the header and Key fields with
{ "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }. - The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on connect.composio.dev
- Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
- Restart and verify if it's there in
.codex/config.toml
What is the Confluence MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Confluence MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Confluence account. It provides structured and secure access to your Confluence spaces, pages, and content, so your agent can perform actions like creating pages, publishing blog posts, organizing spaces, and managing metadata on your behalf.
- Automated page and space creation: Instantly create new Confluence pages or entire spaces, empowering your agent to generate project documentation, wikis, or knowledge bases as needed.
- Effortless blog post publishing: Let your agent draft and publish new blog posts within specified Confluence spaces to keep your team up-to-date and share knowledge seamlessly.
- Content labeling and metadata management: Have your agent add labels and custom properties to pages, blog posts, or spaces, making it easy to organize, tag, and categorize information for better discoverability.
- Private space setup and management: Direct your agent to create private, isolated workspaces for sensitive projects or teams, ensuring only authorized collaborators have access.
- Custom content property automation: Empower your agent to attach or update custom metadata on pages, blog posts, spaces, or whiteboards, streamlining your internal documentation workflows.
