Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Make 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 Make 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 dashboard.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 Make MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Make MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Make account. It provides structured and secure access to your Make workspace, so your agent can retrieve available operations, list supported languages, and fetch timezone data on your behalf.
- Discover available operations: Let your agent fetch all possible workflow operations, making it easy to automate tasks and explore integration options.
- Populate language selectors: Effortlessly retrieve a comprehensive list of supported language codes and names to use in multilingual workflows or app settings.
- Fetch timezone information: Instantly obtain a list of supported timezone codes and names for accurate scheduling and automation across regions.
- Seamless workflow setup: Enable your agent to gather essential configuration data before creating or customizing automations in Make.

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