Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Mem0 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 Mem0 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 Mem0 MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Mem0 MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mem0 account. It provides structured and secure access to your notes, projects, and organizational knowledge, so your agent can perform actions like searching memories, managing users, adding content, and orchestrating agent runs on your behalf.

  • AI-powered memory search and recall: Let your agent search and retrieve existing memory entries using advanced filters and pagination to surface just the right note or piece of information.
  • Automated content and note creation: Have your agent store new memory records from conversations, meetings, or tasks—ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Collaboration and organization management: Direct your agent to add members to projects or organizations, assign roles, and keep team structures up to date.
  • Agent and application orchestration: Enable your agent to create new AI agents, initiate agent runs, and manage applications for custom workflows and automation.
  • Structured knowledge export and reporting: Ask your agent to initiate export jobs with specific schemas and filters, so you can back up or analyze your stored knowledge on demand.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Add member to projectAdds an existing user to a project (identified by `project id` within organization `org id`), assigning a valid system role.
Add new memory recordsStores new memory records from a list of messages, optionally inferring structured content; requires association via `agent id`, `user id`, `app id`, or `run id`.
Add organization memberAdds a new member, who must be a registered user, to an organization, assigning them a specific role.
Create a new agentCreates a new agent with a unique `agent id` and an optional `name`; additional metadata may be assigned by the system.
Create a new agent runCreates a new agent run in the mem0.
Create a new applicationCreates a new application, allowing metadata to be passed in the request body (not an explicit field in this action's request model); ensure `app id` is unique to avoid potential errors or unintended updates.
Create a new organization entryCreates a new organization entry using the provided name and returns its details.
Create a new userCreates a new user with the specified unique `user id` and supports associating `metadata` (not part of the request schema fields).
Create an export job with schemaInitiates an asynchronous job to export memories, structured by a schema provided in the request body and allowing optional filters.
Create memory entryLists/searches existing memory entries with filtering and pagination; critically, this action retrieves memories and does *not* create new ones, despite its name.
Create projectCreates a new project with a given name within an organization that must already exist.
Delete an organizationPermanently deletes an existing organization identified by its unique id.
Delete memory by idPermanently deletes a specific memory by its unique id; ensure the `memory id` exists as this operation is irreversible.
Delete entity by type and idCall to permanently and irreversibly hard-delete an existing entity (user, agent, app, or run) and all its associated data, using its type and id.
Delete memoriesDeletes memories matching specified filter criteria; omitting all filters may result in deleting all memories.
Delete memory batch with uuidsDeletes a batch of up to 1000 existing memories, identified by their uuids, in a single api call.
Delete projectPermanently deletes a specific project and all its associated data from an organization; this action cannot be undone and requires the project to exist within the specified organization.
Delete project memberRemoves an existing member, specified by username, from a project, immediately revoking their project-specific access; the user is not removed from the organization.
Export data based on filtersRetrieves memory export data, optionally filtered by various identifiers (e.
List organizationsRetrieves a summary list of organizations for administrative oversight; returns summary data (names, ids), not exhaustive details, despite 'detailed' in the name.
Fetch details of a specific organizationFetches comprehensive details for an organization using its `org id`; the `org id` must be valid and for an existing organization.
Get list of entity filtersRetrieves predefined filter definitions for entities (e.
Get entity by idFetches detailed information for an existing entity (user, agent, app, or run) identified by its type and unique id.
Get organization membersFetches a list of members for a specified, existing organization.
Get project detailsFetches comprehensive details for a specified project within an organization.
Get project membersRetrieves all members for a specified project within an organization.
Get projectsRetrieves all projects for a given organization `org id` to which the caller has access.
Get user memory statsRetrieves a summary of the authenticated user's memory activity, including total memories created, search events, and add events.
List entitiesRetrieves a list of entities, optionally filtered by organization or project (prefer `org id`/`project id` over deprecated `org name`/`project name`), noting results may be summaries and subject to limits.
Perform semantic search on memoriesSearches memories semantically using a natural language query (required if `only metadata based search` is false) and/or metadata filters.
Remove a member from the organizationRemoves a member, specified by their username, from an existing organization of which they are currently a member.
Retrieve all events for the currently logged in userRetrieves a paginated list of events for the authenticated user, filterable and paginable via url query parameters.
Retrieve entity-specific memoriesRetrieves all memories (e.
Retrieve list of memory eventsRetrieves a chronological list of all memory events (e.
Retrieve memory by idRetrieves a complete memory entry by its unique identifier; `memory id` must be valid and for an existing memory.
Retrieve memory history by idRetrieves the complete version history for an existing memory, using its unique `memory id`, to inspect its evolution or audit changes.
Retrieve memory listRetrieves a list of memories, supporting pagination and diverse filtering (e.
Search memories with filtersSemantically searches memories using a natural language query and mandatory structured filters, offering options to rerank results and select specific fields; any provided `org id` or `project id` must reference a valid existing entity.
Update memory batch with uuidUpdates text for up to 1000 memories in a single batch, using their uuids.
Update memory text contentUpdates the text content of an existing memory, identified by its `memory id`.
Update organization member roleUpdates the role of an existing member to a new valid role within an existing organization.
Update projectUpdates a project by `project id` within an `org id`, modifying only provided fields (name, description, custom instructions, custom categories); list fields are fully replaced (cleared by `[]`), other omitted/null fields remain unchanged.
Update project member roleUpdates the role of a specific member within a designated project, ensuring the new role is valid and recognized by the system.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Mem0 MCP?

With a standalone Mem0 MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Mem0 tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Mem0 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 Mem0 tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Mem0 while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Mem0 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 Mem0 data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
