## Introduction

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

### 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.

```bash
codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## 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.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ECHTPOST_LIST_TEMPLATES` | List templates | This tool retrieves a list of all available templates in the Echtpost account. Templates serve as the base design for postcards and are essential for creating cards. The action operates independently using only an authentication token and returns detailed template information including id, name, description, preview URL, type, and creation time. This action is crucial for viewing templates before creating cards and obtaining the necessary template IDs for subsequent actions. |

## Supported Triggers

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Echtpost MCP server provides comprehensive access to Echtpost operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Echtpost actions directly from Codex using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### 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 1000+ 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

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Echtpost MCP?

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

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

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