Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Peopledatalabs MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

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 Peopledatalabs MCP in Codex

Run the setup command

Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

Terminal

It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.

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 connect.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_*******" }

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

The Peopledatalabs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Peopledatalabs account. It provides structured and secure access to rich B2B data, so your agent can enrich profiles, standardize company details, validate customer information, and perform advanced searches with ease.

  • Comprehensive person data enrichment: Automatically enhance individual profiles using identifiers like email, phone, or full name combined with company or location data.
  • Company data validation and enrichment: Instantly verify and enrich company details with firmographics, employee counts, and standardized fields to power your workflows.
  • Advanced person search and filtering: Leverage Elasticsearch-powered queries to find the exact professional profiles you need using job title, skills, experience, and more.
  • Data cleaning and standardization: Cleanse and structure raw company, school, or location data to maintain high-quality records in your systems.
  • Skill and job title enrichment: Provide context and standardized information for job titles or professional skills to improve analytics and targeting.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Autocomplete field suggestionsProvides autocompletion suggestions for a specific field (e.
Clean company dataCleans and standardizes company information based on a name, website, or profile url; providing at least one of these inputs is highly recommended for meaningful results.
Clean location dataCleans and standardizes a raw, unformatted location string into a structured representation, provided the input is a recognizable geographical place.
Clean school dataCleans and standardizes school information; provide at least one of the school's name, website, or profile for optimal results.
Person Search with ElasticsearchPerforms a search for person profiles within people data labs using a custom elasticsearch domain specific language (dsl) query.
Enrich Company DataEnriches company data from people data labs with details like firmographics and employee counts, requiring at least one company identifier.
Enrich IP DataEnriches an ip address with company, location, metadata, and person data from people data labs.
Enrich job title dataEnhances a job title by providing additional contextual information and details.
Enrich person dataEnriches person data using various identifiers; requires a primary id (profile, email, phone, email hash, lid, pdl id) or a name (full, or first and last) combined with another demographic detail (e.
Enrich skill dataRetrieves detailed, standardized information for a given skill by querying the people data labs skill enrichment api; for best results, provide a recognized professional skill or area of expertise.
Generate Search QueryConverts natural language queries into structured pdl elasticsearch queries for people or company searches; generates optimized query structure without executing the search.
Get column detailsRetrieves predefined enum values for a column name from `enum mappings.
Get schemaRetrieves the schema, including field names, descriptions, and data types, for 'person' or 'company' entity types.
Identify person dataRetrieves detailed profile information for an individual from people data labs (pdl), requiring at least one identifier such as email, phone, profile url, name, or company.
People Search with ElasticsearchSearches for person profiles in the people data labs (pdl) database using an elasticsearch domain specific language (dsl) query.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Peopledatalabs with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Peopledatalabs 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 Peopledatalabs operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 870+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking Codex to perform various Peopledatalabs operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ

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

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

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

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