And MCP makes the experience even better. With Magnetic MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Magnetic with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/magnetic/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 Magnetic to Codex ### How to install Magnetic 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 Magnetic MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Magnetic MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Magnetic account. It provides structured and secure access to your projects, client contacts, users, and task data, so your agent can perform actions like managing follow-ups, searching contacts, retrieving project statuses, and organizing your team’s workflow with ease. - Personal follow-up and task management: Automatically retrieve your upcoming follow-ups or tasks so you never miss important deadlines or action items. - Client contact discovery and tagging: Search for client contacts using specific criteria and view all tags associated with any contact to keep your CRM up to date and organized. - Project grouping and status tracking: Fetch groupings, view their statuses, and retrieve project-related tags to stay on top of ongoing jobs and opportunities. - User and team information access: Instantly pull details about any team member or audit the list of all users in your company for better collaboration and resource planning. - Opportunity status monitoring: Check the latest opportunity statuses to track sales pipelines or unsigned deals directly from your agent. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `MAGNETIC_CLIENTS_GET_CURRENT_FOLLOWUPS` | Get Current Follow-ups | Tool to retrieve upcoming follow-ups assigned to the authenticated user.

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