## Introduction

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

## Also integrate Skyfire with

## 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 Skyfire to Codex

### How to install Skyfire 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 Skyfire MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Skyfire MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Skyfire account. It provides structured and secure access to your autonomous payment and transaction infrastructure, so your agent can create tokens, pay for services, check balances, audit charges, and discover available AI-powered services on your behalf.
- Autonomous service payments: Let your agent issue payment tokens and seamlessly pay for AI services or digital goods without manual intervention.
- Wallet balance and charge auditing: Have your agent check buyer wallet balances before transactions and audit token charges to track exactly what was spent and when.
- Discovery of AI and digital services: Enable your agent to browse, filter, and retrieve detailed info about available services using tags or seller agents, streamlining selection and integration.
- Token management and automation: Allow your agent to create, manage, and charge Skyfire tokens (KYA, PAY, KYA+PAY), handling sophisticated payment flows programmatically.
- Service details and compliance checks: Instruct your agent to fetch detailed service terms, API specs, and integration URLs—helping ensure compliance and smooth onboarding before making purchases.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SKYFIRE_CHARGE_TOKEN` | Charge Skyfire Token | Charge a buyer's token (seller-side operation). REQUIRES SELLER API KEY: This action requires your seller agent API key, not the buyer's key. The buyer creates and sends you a pay/kya+pay token JWT, you provide the service, then call this endpoint to collect payment. Flow: Buyer creates token → Buyer calls your service with token → You validate token → You provide service → You call this to charge. Common errors: - 401: Invalid/expired token OR wrong API key (must use seller key) - 402: Charge amount exceeds token value |
| `SKYFIRE_CREATE_KYA_PAY_TOKEN` | Create Skyfire KYA+PAY Token | Issue a Skyfire KYA+PAY token (POST /api/v1/tokens with type=kya+pay). |
| `SKYFIRE_CREATE_KYA_TOKEN` | Create Skyfire KYA Token | Issue a Skyfire KYA token (POST /api/v1/tokens with type=kya). |
| `SKYFIRE_CREATE_PAY_TOKEN` | Create Skyfire PAY Token | Issue a Skyfire PAY token (POST /api/v1/tokens with type=pay). |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_ALL_SERVICE_TAGS` | Get All Service Tags | Fetch all service tags to discover filtering options. Chain with ListDirectoryServices using tags parameter to find specific types of services (e.g., 'ai', 'mcp', 'scraping'). |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_BUYER_WALLET_BALANCE` | Get Skyfire Buyer Wallet Balance | Retrieve buyer wallet balance. Chain before token creation to prevent declines. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_BY_ID` | Get Directory Service By ID | Tool to get full details for a specific service in the Skyfire directory by its ID. Use when you need complete information about a service including pricing, requirements, and seller details. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_SERVICE` | Get Skyfire Service Details | Get full details for one service. More detailed than ListDirectoryServices - shows terms of service, API specs, and integration URLs. Use before creating expensive tokens. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_SERVICES_BY_AGENT` | Get Services by Agent | Browse all services from one seller agent. Useful when you trust a seller and want to see their full catalog, or when tracking down who provides a specific type of service. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_SERVICES_BY_TAGS` | Get Services by Tags | Filter services by tags to find exactly what you need. More efficient than browsing all services when you know the category. Chain: GetAllServiceTags → GetServicesByTags → CreatePayToken. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_TOKEN_CHARGES` | Get Skyfire Token Charges | Audit charges for a specific token. Shows exactly what sellers charged against your token and when. Use for reconciliation: "I authorized $5 max, what did they actually charge?" |
| `SKYFIRE_INTROSPECT_TOKEN` | Introspect Skyfire Token | Check if a token is still valid before calling a seller service. Prevents wasted API calls with expired tokens. Use after creating tokens if there's a delay before calling the seller, or when debugging payment issues. |
| `SKYFIRE_LIST_AGENT_SELLER_SERVICES` | List Agent Seller Services | List all services registered by the authenticated seller agent. Use when you need to view or manage your own services as a seller. |
| `SKYFIRE_LIST_BUYER_TOKENS` | List Skyfire Buyer Tokens | Inspect buyer tokens for observability. Chain with transactions to audit usage. |
| `SKYFIRE_LIST_DIRECTORY_SERVICES` | List Skyfire Directory Services | Browse Skyfire's service directory to obtain `sellerServiceId` for token creation. Chain this with CreatePayToken or CreateKyaPayToken. |
| `SKYFIRE_SET_AGENT_SOURCE_IPS` | Set Agent Source IP Addresses | Register IP addresses as sources for Agent requests (PUT /api/v1/agents/source-ips). Use before creating tokens to whitelist agent IPs. |

## Conclusion

### Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Skyfire with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Skyfire 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 Skyfire operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
- CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking Codex to perform various Skyfire operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Skyfire MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Skyfire while using Tool Router?

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