How to integrate Influxdb cloud MCP with Codex

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Influxdb cloud MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or app, whichever you prefer.

Composio removes the Authentication handling completely from you. We handle the entire integration lifecycle, and all you need to do is just copy the URL below, authenticate inside Codex, and start using it.

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 870+ 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 Influxdb cloud MCP in Codex

Codex CLI

Run the command in your terminal.

This will auto-redirect you to the Rube authentication page.

Once you're authenticated, you will be able to access the tools.

Verify the installation by running:

codex mcp list

If you otherwise prefer to use config.toml, add the following URL to it. You can get the bearer token from rube.app → Use Rube → MCP URL → Generate token

[projects."/home/user/composio"]
trust_level = "untrusted"

[mcp_servers.rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex in VS Code

If you have installed Codex in VS Code.

Then: ⚙️ → MCP Settings → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

Add the Rube MCP URL: https://rube.app/mcp and the bearer token.

To verify, click on the Open config.toml

Make sure it's there:

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

2. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

3. Save, restart the extension, and start working.

The Influxdb cloud MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your InfluxDB Cloud account. It provides structured and secure access to your time series data, letting your agent run queries, ingest new data, manage dashboards, and update user settings automatically.

• Real-time data ingestion and writing: Instantly send line protocol data points to your InfluxDB Cloud buckets for seamless time series collection and analytics.
• Automated dashboard cell management: Direct your agent to add new cells to existing dashboards, making it easy to visualize and monitor the latest metrics or results.
• Advanced query analysis and validation: Have the agent generate and inspect Flux query Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) to validate and debug your analytics scripts before running them.
• User and session management: Enable your agent to sign users in or out and even delete users by ID, supporting secure and automated access control.
• DBRP mapping updates and retrieval: Let your agent fetch or update Database Retention Policy (DBRP) mappings, so you can adapt your data retention and default policies on the fly.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Influxdb cloud with Codex using Composio's Rube MCP server. Now you can interact with Influxdb cloud 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 Influxdb cloud operations
• Managed authentication through Composio's Rube
• Access to 20,000+ tools across 870+ apps for cross-app workflows
• CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

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