Introduction

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

  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 Reply io MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Reply io MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Reply io account. It provides structured and secure access to your sales engagement platform, so your agent can manage campaigns, handle contacts, organize sequences, and automate routine sales operations on your behalf.

  • Campaign and sequence management: Effortlessly list, browse, and delete campaigns or sequences to keep your outreach organized and up to date.
  • Contact and list organization: Let your agent fetch, review, and organize your Reply io contacts and contact lists for targeted sales actions.
  • Email account administration: Retrieve all connected email accounts or remove outdated ones, making sure your sales tools stay streamlined.
  • User and access control: Easily remove users or generate unique identifiers for tasks, maintaining security and clarity in your team’s workflow.
  • Automated data retrieval: Quickly pull up paginated lists of campaigns, sequences, email accounts, or contact lists to inform your sales strategies and next steps.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Reply io MCP?

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

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

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