And MCP makes the experience even better. With Sendbird MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Sendbird with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sendbird/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 Sendbird to Codex ### How to install Sendbird 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 Sendbird MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Sendbird MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Sendbird account. It provides structured and secure access to your in-app chat, voice, and video features, so your agent can perform actions like creating group channels, managing users, moderating conversations, and tracking unread message counts on your behalf. - Group channel management: Let your agent create new group channels, add or ban members, and delete channels as needed to keep conversations organized and secure. - User account administration: Automatically register new users or remove users from your Sendbird application, simplifying user lifecycle management. - Message moderation and cleanup: Empower your agent to delete specific messages—helping enforce community guidelines and remove unwanted content instantly. - Unread count and status tracking: Retrieve up-to-date counts of unread messages, mentions, and channel invitations for any user to surface important conversations. - Channel preference insights: Access and update user count preferences in group channels, tailoring notification and message delivery based on user needs. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SENDBIRD_ADD_MEMBERS_GROUP_CHANNEL` | Add Members To Group Channel | Tool to add members to a group channel.

With a standalone Sendbird MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Sendbird tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Sendbird 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 Sendbird tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Sendbird while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Sendbird 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 Sendbird data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
