Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Linkhut 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 Linkhut MCP in Codex

Codex CLI

Run the command in your terminal.

Terminal

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

Rube authentication redirect 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.

VS Code MCP Settings

To verify, click on the Open config.toml

Open config toml in Codex

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:
Codex App MCP Settings
  1. 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"
  1. Save, restart the extension, and start working.

What is the Linkhut MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Linkhut MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Linkhut account. It provides structured and secure access to all your saved bookmarks, so your agent can organize, tag, retrieve, and manage your URLs and references exactly how you want.

  • Bookmark organization and retrieval: Effortlessly ask your agent to fetch, list, or filter all bookmarks, including details like tags, notes, and timestamps.
  • Automated link saving: Let your agent add new bookmarks for important websites, articles, or resources—tagged and noted for easy discovery later.
  • Tag management and insights: Have your agent pull a list of all used tags, track how often tags appear, and help you keep your bookmark library organized.
  • Bookmark editing and updates: Direct your agent to modify titles, descriptions, or tags for any saved link so your collection always stays current and relevant.
  • Bookmark cleanup and removal: Ask your agent to delete obsolete or unwanted bookmarks, keeping your Linkhut workspace clean and focused.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Add bookmarkAdds a new bookmark to linkhut.
Delete bookmarkThis tool allows users to delete a bookmark from their linkhut account by providing the bookmark url.
Get all tagsRetrieves a list of all tags and their usage counts for the authenticated user.
Get bookmarksThis tool retrieves all bookmarks from the user's linkhut account.
Update BookmarkThis tool allows users to update an existing bookmark in linkhut.

Conclusion

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

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Linkhut MCP?

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

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

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