Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Ticktick MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, 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 870+ 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 Ticktick 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.
Verify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
Codex 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 connect.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
What is the Ticktick MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Ticktick MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ticktick account. It provides structured and secure access to your task lists and projects, so your agent can create, manage, and organize tasks, complete or delete items, and streamline your productivity workflows automatically.
- Automated task creation and editing: Let your agent add new tasks, set deadlines, and update task details across your Ticktick projects with ease.
- Project management and organization: Direct your agent to create, retrieve, or delete entire projects, keeping your workspace tidy and aligned with your priorities.
- Seamless task completion and cleanup: Ask your agent to mark tasks as complete or delete tasks you've finished or no longer need, helping you stay on top of your to-do list.
- Comprehensive project data retrieval: Have your agent fetch detailed project information, including all associated tasks and columns, for quick overviews or reporting.
- Effortless OAuth2 authentication management: Benefit from a streamlined, agent-guided authorization flow that securely connects your Ticktick account with minimal friction.

FAQ
What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Ticktick MCP?
With a standalone Ticktick MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Ticktick tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Ticktick 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 Ticktick tools.
Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ticktick while using Tool Router?
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ticktick 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 Ticktick data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
