Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Griptape MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, 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 1000+ 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 Griptape 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_*******" }

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

The Griptape MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Griptape account. It provides structured and secure access to your Griptape platform, so your agent can create assistants, launch and monitor AI runs, retrieve logs, and analyze results automatically on your behalf.

  • Automated assistant creation and management: Easily direct your agent to create new assistants or list existing ones, making it simple to manage your AI resources in Griptape Cloud.
  • Launching and controlling assistant runs: Let your agent start new assistant runs, cancel ongoing executions, or fetch the status of any run for streamlined AI workflow management.
  • Real-time monitoring of assistant activities: Have your agent stream live run events, monitor progress, or retrieve detailed logs to keep tabs on every step of your generative AI processes.
  • Error handling and diagnostics: Ask your agent to fetch detailed error reports for failed runs, helping you troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
  • Result retrieval and historical analysis: Automatically pull final outputs from completed runs and review historical execution data, empowering you to analyze and improve your generative AI pipelines over time.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Griptape MCP?

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

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

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