Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Servicem8 MCP integration, Codex can create and update jobs, manage clients and contacts, add job notes and materials, record job payments, and track tasks, 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 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 Servicem8 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 Servicem8 task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Servicem8 account.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Create a new job for a plumbing callout"
  • "List all clients with overdue invoices"
  • "Add a payment note to job 12345"

What is the Servicem8 MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Servicem8 MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Servicem8 account. It provides structured and secure access to your job management system, so your agent can perform actions like creating jobs, managing notes and payments, listing clients, and retrieving templates on your behalf.

  • Job creation and management: Instruct your agent to create new jobs, add detailed job information, or update records, streamlining field service operations.
  • Automated note handling: Have your agent attach important notes to jobs or remove outdated notes to keep job records clean and up-to-date.
  • Payment processing and tracking: Let your agent record new job payments or archive payment records, ensuring accurate and timely invoicing.
  • Comprehensive client and asset retrieval: Ask your agent to pull complete lists of clients and assets for reporting, integrations, or inventory management.
  • Template and form discovery: Fetch available document templates and forms so your agent can prepare job paperwork or gather required information efficiently.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Servicem8 with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Servicem8 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 Servicem8 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 Servicem8 operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
