How to integrate Griptape MCP with Codex

Connect Codex to Griptape MCP. Create a new assistant named 'dochelper', list all assistants available in your workspace, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.

Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Griptape MCP integration, Codex can create and run assistants, build and query knowledge bases, deploy structures and tools, manage data connectors, and organize threads and messages, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

For exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the tool catalog in the Composio docs.

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 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_*******" }

Try it

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

For example, ask it to:

  • "Create a new assistant named 'DocHelper'"
  • "List all assistants available in your workspace"
  • "Start a run for assistant 'CodeGenPro' with input data"

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.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Griptape with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Griptape 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 Griptape 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 Griptape operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
