Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Talenthr MCP integration, Codex can assign permissions, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

For exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the tool catalog in the Composio docs.

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 Talenthr 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 Talenthr task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Talenthr account.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Grant vacation approval rights to managers"
  • "Revoke payroll access from interns role"
  • "Assign onboarding permissions to HR assistants"

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

The Talenthr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your TalentHR account. It provides structured and secure access to your HR operations, so your agent can assign permissions, manage role-based access, enforce compliance, and streamline HR permissions on your behalf.

  • Automated permission assignment: Instantly grant specific permissions to designated roles within your organization, reducing manual admin work.
  • Role-based access management: Enable your agent to adjust access levels for users by updating permissions tied to different roles as organizational needs evolve.
  • Compliance enforcement: Ensure the right people have the right access, helping your team stay compliant with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
  • Streamlined permission revocation: Quickly revoke permissions from roles when responsibilities change, improving security and clarity.
  • Permission validation and auditing: Validate and track the assignment or removal of permissions, making audits and reviews much simpler for HR teams.

Conclusion

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