Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Pushover MCP integration, Codex can send messages, manage delivery groups and team users, check receipt status, cancel retries, and check your app limits, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

For exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the tool catalog in the Composio docs.

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 1700+ 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 Pushover 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 dashboard.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_*******" }

Try it

Ask Codex for a Pushover task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Pushover account.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Send device alert for server downtime"
  • "Notify me of new support tickets"
  • "Push daily summary to your phone"

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

The Pushover MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pushover account. It provides structured and secure access to your notification system, so your agent can send instant alerts, deliver custom messages, manage notification priorities, and automate device notifications on your behalf.

  • Instant push notifications: Have your agent send real-time alerts to your devices for important events, tasks, or reminders.
  • Custom message delivery: Allow your agent to craft and deliver personalized notifications with specific titles, messages, and sounds.
  • Priority and sound control: Let the agent set notification priority levels and choose custom sounds to ensure the right alerts stand out.
  • Device targeting: Direct your agent to send notifications to specific devices or user groups for tailored communication.
  • Automated workflow integration: Seamlessly trigger Pushover alerts from other automated tasks or events managed by your agent, keeping you informed in real-time.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Pushover with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Pushover 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 Pushover operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1700+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

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