Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Echtpost MCP integration, Codex can list your templates, 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 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 Echtpost 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
codex mcp login composio

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 Echtpost task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Echtpost account.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Show me all postcard templates available"
  • "List templates for confidential document delivery"
  • "Get preview links for secure message templates"

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

The Echtpost MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Echtpost account. It provides structured and secure access to your Echtpost templates, so your agent can perform actions like listing available postcard templates, retrieving template details, and preparing for secure document creation on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive template retrieval: Instantly fetch all available postcard and document templates in your Echtpost account for quick reference and selection.
  • Detailed template information: Allow your agent to access template names, descriptions, preview links, types, and creation timestamps to help you make informed decisions before sending confidential documents.
  • Template ID lookup for card creation: Let your agent efficiently obtain the necessary template IDs required for creating and dispatching secure postcards or messages.
  • Preview and validation of design assets: Preview templates visually and validate their suitability—ensuring every document meets your standards before sending.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Echtpost with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Echtpost 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 Echtpost operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1700+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

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