How to integrate D2lbrightspace MCP with Codex

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With D2lbrightspace MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or app, whichever you prefer.

Composio removes the Authentication handling completely from you. We handle the entire integration lifecycle, and all you need to do is just copy the URL below, authenticate inside Codex, and start using it.

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 D2lbrightspace MCP in Codex

Codex CLI

Run the command in your terminal.

This will auto-redirect you to the Rube authentication page.

Once you're authenticated, you will be able to access the tools.

Verify the installation by running:

codex mcp list

If you otherwise prefer to use config.toml, add the following URL to it. You can get the bearer token from rube.app → Use Rube → MCP URL → Generate token

[projects."/home/user/composio"]
trust_level = "untrusted"

[mcp_servers.rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex in VS Code

If you have installed Codex in VS Code.

Then: ⚙️ → MCP Settings → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

Add the Rube MCP URL: https://rube.app/mcp and the bearer token.

To verify, click on the Open config.toml

Make sure it's there:

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

2. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

3. Save, restart the extension, and start working.

The D2lbrightspace MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your D2L Brightspace account. It provides structured and secure access to your LMS, so your agent can perform actions like creating courses, managing quizzes, handling user enrollment, and automating gradebook operations on your behalf.

• Automated course creation and management: Instantly create new courses, course offerings, or templates, and streamline updates or deletions without manual intervention.
• Quiz and assessment automation: Let your agent set up new quizzes, organize quiz categories, and configure assessment parameters to enhance the learning experience.
• Gradebook and feedback management: Effortlessly create, modify, or delete grade objects to keep your course grading up to date and provide prompt feedback to learners.
• User enrollment and management: Create new user accounts, manage user roles, and handle enrollment or impersonation tasks to simplify onboarding and administration.
• Role and permissions control: Copy existing roles, adjust specific permissions, and fine-tune access for different user groups—all directly through your agent.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated D2lbrightspace with Codex using Composio's Rube MCP server. Now you can interact with D2lbrightspace directly from your terminal, VS Code, or the Codex App using natural language commands.

Key benefits of this setup:

• Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
• Natural language commands for D2lbrightspace operations
• Managed authentication through Composio's Rube
• Access to 20,000+ tools across 870+ apps for cross-app workflows
• CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

• Try asking Codex to perform various D2lbrightspace operations
• Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
• Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
