Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Iqair airvisual 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 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 Iqair airvisual 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 connect.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 Iqair airvisual MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Iqair airvisual MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Iqair airvisual account. It provides structured and secure access to rich global air quality data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving real-time AQI, forecasting pollution, checking historical trends, and ranking cities worldwide by air quality on your behalf.

  • Real-time city and station air quality: Instantly fetch current air quality and weather data for any supported city or monitoring station, based on precise location or station ID.
  • Air quality forecasting: Ask your agent to provide air quality forecasts for specific cities, helping you plan activities based on pollution trends.
  • Historical AQI analysis: Retrieve historical air quality index readings for cities to analyze patterns, spot trends, or track improvements over time.
  • World AQI rankings: Get live rankings of cities worldwide based on current AQI data, or easily find the most and least polluted cities globally.
  • Location-based discovery: Let your agent list supported countries, states, and cities, or pinpoint the nearest air quality stations and cities using GPS coordinates or IP address.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Iqair airvisual MCP?

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

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

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