And MCP makes the experience even better. With Ninox MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Ninox with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/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 Ninox to Codex ### How to install Ninox 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 Ninox MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Ninox MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ninox account. It provides structured and secure access to your custom database applications, so your agent can perform actions like listing databases, retrieving details, and deleting records—all without manual intervention. - Retrieve all team databases: Instantly ask your agent to fetch and list every database available within a specified Ninox team to streamline access and navigation. - Automated record deletion: Empower your agent to delete specific records from any table, given the correct workspace, database, table, and record IDs—keeping your data organized and up-to-date. - Database overview for project management: Have your agent quickly provide an overview of all databases for project tracking or auditing purposes within your team. - Simplified database administration: Let your agent automate repetitive admin tasks, like cleaning up obsolete records, so you can focus on building smarter workflows. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `NINOX_NINOX_DELETE_RECORD` | Delete Record | Tool to delete a record from a specified table. Use after confirming workspace, database, table, and record IDs. | | `NINOX_GET_DATABASES` | Get Databases | Retrieves all databases within a specific Ninox team. This action lists all databases (workspaces) that belong to a given team in Ninox. Each database contains tables, fields, and records for organizing data. Use this action when you need to: - List all available databases in a team - Find a specific database by name - Get database IDs for further operations Note: You must have a valid team_id. Use the GET /teams endpoint to retrieve team IDs first. | | `NINOX_GET_TEAM` | Get Team | Retrieves data from a single team (workspace) by its ID. Use when you need to get workspace details including the workspace ID and name. | | `NINOX_LIST_TEAMS` | List Teams | Retrieves all workspaces (teams) accessible to the authenticated user. This action lists all Ninox teams (workspaces) that the user has access to. Each team contains databases, which in turn contain tables and records. Use this action when you need to: - List all available workspaces - Find a specific workspace by name - Get workspace IDs for further operations (databases, tables, records) Note: The team_id from this response is required for most other Ninox API operations. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Ninox MCP server provides comprehensive access to Ninox operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Ninox actions directly from Codex using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Ninox with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Ninox 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 Ninox 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 Ninox operations - Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits - Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities ## How to build Ninox MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ninox/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Excel](https://composio.dev/toolkits/excel) - Microsoft Excel is a robust spreadsheet application for organizing, analyzing, and visualizing data.

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