Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Missive MCP integration, Codex can create drafts and posts, list conversations and messages, manage contacts, create tasks, and organize shared labels, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

For exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the tool catalog in the Composio docs.

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 1700+ 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 Missive MCP in Codex

Run the setup command

Composio authentication page

(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth

To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.

bash
codex mcp login composio

Verify the connection

Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.

bash
codex mcp list

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

  1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
  2. Fill the header and Key fields with { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }.
  3. The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on dashboard.composio.dev
  4. Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
Codex App MCP setup
  1. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml
bash
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }

Try it

Ask Codex for a Missive task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Missive account.

For example, ask it to:

  • "List all team members for marketing"
  • "Create a draft email for client follow-up"
  • "Send a chat message in project conversation"

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

The Missive MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Missive account. It provides structured and secure access to your team's shared inboxes and chat threads, so your agent can perform actions like drafting emails, sending messages, generating reports, and managing team communication on your behalf.

  • Automated message drafting and scheduling: Let your agent create and save email, SMS, WhatsApp, or live chat drafts for later editing or scheduled sending.
  • Instant message sending in conversations: Have your agent send new messages directly to any Missive conversation, keeping your team in the loop in real time.
  • Team and user management: Effortlessly list all teams and their members, or pull a full directory of users in your Missive organization for easy coordination and task assignment.
  • Analytics report generation: Direct your agent to create detailed analytics reports across time ranges and filters, helping your team track productivity and engagement.
  • Webhook automation setup: Enable your agent to create or delete webhook subscriptions, so you can automate notifications and integrations with other tools as needed.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Missive with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Missive 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 Missive operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1700+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining
