## Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Cutt ly 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 Cutt ly to Codex

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

The Cutt ly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cutt ly account. It provides structured and secure access to your link management tools, so your agent can view recently shortened URLs, monitor your latest links, and analyze basic link details on your behalf.
- Retrieve recently shortened URLs: Instantly access a list of your most recently shortened links, making it easy to track new campaigns or shared content.
- View detailed link information: Ask your agent to pull details for each shortened URL, including destination, creation time, and basic analytics.
- Monitor link activity trends: Quickly scan your latest links to spot changes or trends in what you and your team are sharing.
- Streamline link management tasks: Let your agent do the tedious work of gathering and summarizing your recent link activity, so you can focus on strategy.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CUTT_LY_SHORTEN_URL` | Shorten URL | Tool to shorten a URL using Cutt.ly Regular API. Creates a shortened link that redirects to the original URL. Use when you need to create a short link for sharing. Supports custom aliases and additional options. |
| `CUTT_LY_VIEW_LAST_SHORTENED_URLS` | View Last Shortened URLs | This action retrieves a list of recently shortened URLs from your Cutt.ly account. It allows users to view their latest shortened links and their details. Note: Due to API limitations, this action may not return all historical URLs. For complete history, please use the Cutt.ly dashboard. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Cutt ly MCP?

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

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

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