How to integrate Onedesk MCP with Codex
Connect Codex to Onedesk MCP. Log two hours on today's support ticket, remove outdated attachment from project alpha, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.

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.
How to install Onedesk 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.
bash
codex mcp login composioVerify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
bash
codex mcp listCodex 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
bash
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }What is the Onedesk MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Onedesk MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Onedesk account. It provides structured and secure access to your help desk and project management workspace, so your agent can perform actions like managing tickets, handling tasks, logging work, and cleaning up projects on your behalf.
- Automated worklog entry creation: Let your agent log time spent on tickets, tasks, or projects, so you can track team effort without manual entry.
- Ticket and task cleanup: Direct your agent to delete tickets or tasks that are no longer needed, keeping your workspace organized and up to date.
- Project and requirement management: Have the agent remove outdated projects or requirements, ensuring your portfolio stays relevant and clutter-free.
- Attachment and comment removal: Ask your agent to delete attachments or comments from tasks, tickets, or projects, maintaining a clean and focused workflow.
- Customer and timesheet handling: Enable your agent to securely delete customers or timesheets, helping you maintain accurate records and compliance.
Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Onedesk with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Onedesk 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 Onedesk 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 Onedesk operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
With a standalone Onedesk MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Onedesk tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Onedesk and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.
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 Onedesk tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Onedesk 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.
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 Onedesk data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
