And MCP makes the experience even better. With Kraken io MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Kraken io with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### 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. ## Connect Kraken io to Codex ### How to install Kraken io MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Kraken io MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Kraken io MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Kraken io account. It provides structured and secure access to your image optimization tools, so your agent can automatically compress images, resize or convert files, monitor account usage, and test optimizations without consuming real credits. - Real-time image optimization by URL: Instantly compress, resize, or convert images hosted on public URLs—perfect for streamlining website performance or social media workflows. - Quota and account status monitoring: Let your agent check your Kraken.io plan limits, remaining quota, and current account status before processing images, so you never hit a surprise limit. - Metadata preservation during compression: Instruct your agent to optimize images while keeping essential EXIF and metadata intact, making sure important information stays with your files. - Sandbox image upload and testing: Safely upload and optimize images in sandbox mode, allowing you to test settings and workflows without using up your actual credits. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `KRAKEN_IO_CHECK_USER_STATUS` | Check Kraken.io User Status | Tool to retrieve current Kraken.io account status and quota usage. Use when you need to verify plan limits and remaining quota before processing images. | | `KRAKEN_IO_OPTIMIZE_IMAGE_URL` | Optimize Image by URL | Tool to optimize an image from a public URL. Use when you need to compress, resize, or convert an externally hosted image. Returns result immediately if 'wait' is true. | | `KRAKEN_IO_PRESERVE_METADATA` | Preserve Image Metadata | Tool to preserve EXIF and other metadata during Kraken.io image optimization. Use when you need to maintain metadata while compressing images. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Kraken io MCP server provides comprehensive access to Kraken io operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Kraken io actions directly from Codex using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Kraken io with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Kraken io 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 Kraken io operations - Managed authentication through Composio - Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows - CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining Next steps: - Try asking Codex to perform various Kraken io operations - Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits - Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities ## How to build Kraken io MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/kraken_io/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Figma](https://composio.dev/toolkits/figma) - Figma is a collaborative interface design tool for teams and individuals.

With a standalone Kraken io MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Kraken io tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Kraken io 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 Kraken io tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Kraken io while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Kraken io 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 Kraken io data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
