## Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Paperform 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 Paperform to Codex

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PAPERFORM_GET_SPACE` | Get Space | Tool to retrieve a space by ID from Paperform. Use when you need to get detailed information about a specific space. |
| `PAPERFORM_GET_SPACE_FORMS` | Get Space Forms | Tool to retrieve forms in a space from Paperform. Use when you need to list all forms accessible by the authorized user within a specific space. This is a Business API only feature. |
| `PAPERFORM_LIST_FORMS` | List Forms | Tool to list all forms accessible by the authorized user. Use when you need to retrieve available forms from Paperform. |
| `PAPERFORM_LIST_SPACES` | List Spaces | Tool to list all spaces accessible by the authorized user. Use when you need to retrieve available spaces from Paperform. |
| `PAPERFORM_LIST_TRANSLATIONS` | List Translations | Tool to list all translations accessible by the authorized user. Use when you need to retrieve available translations from Paperform. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Paperform MCP server provides comprehensive access to Paperform operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Paperform actions directly from Codex using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

## Conclusion

### Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Paperform with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Paperform 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 Paperform 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 Paperform 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 Paperform MCP?

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

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

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