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.
How to install Strava MCP in Codex
Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.
It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
(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 composioVerify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
bash
codex mcp listCodex App
Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.
- Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
- Fill the header and Key fields with
{ "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }. - The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on dashboard.composio.dev
- Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
- 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 Strava MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Strava MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Strava account. It provides structured and secure access to your fitness data, so your agent can perform actions like fetching activities, analyzing stats, logging workouts, managing routes, and exploring your social fitness feed on your behalf.
- Workout tracking and retrieval: Let your agent pull detailed records of your recent runs, rides, and other logged activities, complete with stats, maps, and performance data.
- Fitness analytics and progress insights: Have your agent analyze your weekly or monthly trends, highlight PRs, and summarize progress toward your training goals.
- Route exploration and management: Ask your agent to list, suggest, or organize your favorite routes and segments for upcoming workouts or challenges.
- Social engagement automation: Enable your agent to fetch kudos, summarize comments, or surface activity highlights from friends and clubs in your Strava network.
- Activity creation and editing: Allow your agent to log new activities, edit workout details, or update activity metadata for accurate record keeping.
Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Strava with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Strava 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 Strava 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 Strava operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
With a standalone Strava MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Strava tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Strava and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.
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 Strava tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Strava 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.
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 Strava data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
