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 1700+ 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 Dailybot 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

Verify the connection

Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.

bash
codex mcp list

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
bash
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }

Try it

Ask Codex for a Dailybot task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Dailybot account.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Send a standup reminder to your team"
  • "Give kudos to top performers this week"
  • "List all active DailyBot workflows"

What is the Dailybot MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Dailybot MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Dailybot account. It provides structured and secure access to your team’s Dailybot workspace, so your agent can perform actions like sending messages, running workflows, managing users, and automating recognition on your behalf.

  • Automated team messaging and notifications: Let your agent instantly send updates, reminders, or announcements to specific users or channels via Dailybot, complete with markdown formatting.
  • Workflow discovery and automation: Effortlessly find, list, or retrieve details about team workflows, enabling your agent to help coordinate or trigger automated routines across your organization.
  • User management and lookup: Quickly fetch information about any user in your Dailybot workspace, including status, profile details, and organizational context, for personalized communication and reporting.
  • Kudos and team recognition: Enable your agent to give kudos to one or multiple teammates, supporting a culture of appreciation and motivation directly from your chat platforms.
  • Comprehensive organization insights: Retrieve and analyze lists of all users or workflows, helping your agent surface insights, generate reports, or keep your team directory up to date automatically.

Conclusion

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

Key benefits of this setup:
