Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Kaggle 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 Kaggle MCP in Codex
Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.
It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth
To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
Verify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
Codex App
Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.
- Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
- Fill the header and Key fields with
{ "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }. - The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on connect.composio.dev
- Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
- Restart and verify if it's there in
.codex/config.toml
What is the Kaggle MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Kaggle MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Kaggle account. It provides structured and secure access to your Kaggle datasets, competitions, and configurations, so your agent can perform actions like downloading competition data, creating datasets, submitting entries, and managing dataset versions on your behalf.
- Competition data access and download: Let your agent fetch and download competition datasets quickly by specifying a competition ID, so you always have the latest files for analysis.
- Automated dataset creation and management: Have your agent create new Kaggle datasets, update metadata, and publish new dataset versions seamlessly, streamlining the process of sharing your work with the community.
- Competition entry submission: Empower your agent to submit competition entries automatically once your solution is ready and uploaded, helping you participate in challenges without manual hassle.
- Configuration management and setup: Allow your agent to initialize, locate, and update Kaggle API configuration files and keys, ensuring smooth and authenticated operations every time.
- Dataset status monitoring: Ask your agent to check the status of uploaded datasets or processing jobs, so you always know when your data is ready for use or public sharing.

FAQ
What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Kaggle MCP?
With a standalone Kaggle MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Kaggle tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Kaggle 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 Kaggle tools.
Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Kaggle while using Tool Router?
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Kaggle 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 Kaggle data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
