And MCP makes the experience even better. With Curated MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Curated with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/curated/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 Curated to Codex ### How to install Curated 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 Curated MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Curated MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Curated account. It provides structured and secure access to your newsletters, letting your agent manage publications, curate content, draft issues, and handle subscribers for you. - Publication and issue management: Have your agent list all your publications, fetch their issues, and help you stay on top of what's scheduled or published. - Draft issue creation: Let your agent create new draft issues for any of your newsletters, making it easy to start new editions with the right content and settings. - Curated link collection: Easily add new links, articles, or resources to your publication's collection, so your newsletter always has fresh, relevant content. - Subscriber insights: Retrieve lists of all email subscribers for any publication, helping you better understand and engage your audience. - Category organization: List and review all categories for your publications, allowing your agent to help you keep content organized and targeted. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CURATED_CURATED_CREATE_DRAFT_ISSUE` | Create Draft Issue | Tool to create a draft issue for a publication.

With a standalone Curated MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Curated tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Curated 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 Curated tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Curated while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Curated 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 Curated data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
