How to integrate Pingdom MCP with Codex

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

Composio removes the Authentication handling completely from you. We handle the entire integration lifecycle, and all you need to do is just copy the URL below, authenticate inside Codex, and start using it.

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 Pingdom MCP in Codex

Codex CLI

Run the command in your terminal.

This will auto-redirect you to the Rube authentication page.

Once you're authenticated, you will be able to access the tools.

Verify the installation by running:

codex mcp list

If you otherwise prefer to use config.toml, add the following URL to it. You can get the bearer token from rube.app → Use Rube → MCP URL → Generate token

[projects."/home/user/composio"]
trust_level = "untrusted"

[mcp_servers.rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex in VS Code

If you have installed Codex in VS Code.

Then: ⚙️ → MCP Settings → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

Add the Rube MCP URL: https://rube.app/mcp and the bearer token.

To verify, click on the Open config.toml

Make sure it's there:

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

2. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

3. Save, restart the extension, and start working.

The Pingdom MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pingdom account. It provides structured and secure access to your monitoring data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving uptime checks, managing alerts and contacts, viewing maintenance windows, and running immediate availability tests on your behalf.

• Comprehensive uptime and check monitoring: Instantly fetch overviews of all your uptime checks, retrieve details for specific checks, and keep tabs on your website and server performance.
• Alert action and contact management: Ask your agent to list all alerting actions, fetch contacts, or get detailed notification configurations for each contact in your Pingdom account.
• Maintenance window tracking: Let your agent list and filter scheduled maintenance windows and occurrences, helping you plan downtime and track monitoring exceptions.
• Immediate single-site checks: Perform real-time availability or performance tests on any host or URL directly from your agent, using specific probes and check types.
• Reference data and credits insight: Retrieve essential reference lists (like time zones, probes, and contact types) and check your API credit and rate-limit status to stay informed and proactive.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Pingdom with Codex using Composio's Rube MCP server. Now you can interact with Pingdom 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 Pingdom operations
• Managed authentication through Composio's Rube
• 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 Pingdom operations
• Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
• Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
