## Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Manus MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

## 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 Manus to Codex

### How to install Manus 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 Manus MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Manus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Manus account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Manus operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MANUS_CREATE_FILE` | Create File | Tool to create a file record and obtain a presigned URL for uploading file content to S3. Use when you need to upload a file to Manus. After calling this action, use the returned upload_url with a PUT request to upload the actual file content. The upload URL expires at the timestamp specified in upload_expires_at. |
| `MANUS_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create New Project | Tool to create a new project with default instructions. Projects organize tasks and apply consistent instructions across multiple task creations via the project_id parameter. Use when you need to set up a new project workspace for organizing related tasks. |
| `MANUS_CREATE_TASK` | Create New Task | Creates a new AI task with custom parameters, attachments, and optional connectors. Supports multi-turn conversations by specifying taskId for continuation. Use when you want to create a new task for the Manus agent to execute. |
| `MANUS_CREATE_WEBHOOK` | Create Webhook | Tool to register a webhook to receive real-time task notifications. Use when you need to set up real-time notifications for task events such as task_created, task_progress, and task_stopped. The webhook URL must be accessible over HTTPS and will receive POST requests with task event data in JSON format. |
| `MANUS_DELETE_FILE` | Delete a file | Deletes a file by ID. This removes both the file record and the file from S3 storage. Use when you need to remove a previously uploaded file from the Manus platform. |
| `MANUS_DELETE_TASK` | Delete task | Permanently delete a task by its ID. This action cannot be undone. Use this action when you want to permanently remove a task from the system. |
| `MANUS_DELETE_WEBHOOK` | Delete Webhook | Removes a webhook subscription. This is a destructive operation that permanently removes the webhook. Use when you need to delete an existing webhook that is no longer needed. |
| `MANUS_GET_FILE` | Get file details | Retrieves details of a specific file by ID, including its status and metadata. Use this to get information about a previously uploaded file such as its name, current status (pending, uploaded, or deleted), and creation timestamp. |
| `MANUS_GET_TASK` | Get Task | Retrieves details of a specific task by ID, including status, output messages, credit usage, and metadata. Use this action to check the current status of a task and retrieve its results after it has been submitted. Example: Get the details of task with ID "Y7BNH7rfCVjxMQjU98R2wq". |
| `MANUS_GET_WEBHOOK_PUBLIC_KEY` | Get Webhook Public Key | Retrieves the RSA public key used for verifying webhook signatures. Use this key to validate that webhook requests genuinely came from Manus. This is essential for security - always verify webhook signatures before processing the payload. |
| `MANUS_LIST_FILES` | List uploaded files | Retrieves a list of the 10 most recently uploaded files. Use this action to get information about files that have been uploaded to the Manus platform, including their IDs, filenames, creation timestamps, and status. |
| `MANUS_LIST_PROJECTS` | List Projects | Retrieve a list of all projects in your account with optional pagination. Use this action when you need to get all projects to find a specific project ID or to see all available projects. |
| `MANUS_LIST_TASKS` | List tasks | Retrieves a list of tasks with optional filtering and pagination. Allows searching, filtering by status, and sorting by creation or update time. Use this action to fetch multiple tasks at once, optionally filtered by status, project, search query, or time range. Supports pagination via 'after' cursor and sorting via 'order' and 'order_by' parameters. |
| `MANUS_UPDATE_TASK` | Update Task | Updates a task's metadata such as title, sharing settings, and visibility in the task list. Use when you need to modify an existing task's properties like its title, enable or disable public sharing, or change its visibility in the task list. |

## Conclusion

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

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Manus MCP?

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

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

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