Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Tinyurl MCP integration, Codex can create short URLs and list your TinyURLs, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

How to integrate Tinyurl MCP with Codex
Connect Codex to Tinyurl MCP. Shorten a long event registration link, generate a custom alias for this product page, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Api Key
TinyURL is a link shortening service that turns long links into concise URLs. It's perfect for making links easier to share and track in campaigns or on social media.

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 Tinyurl 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_*******" }Try it
Ask Codex for a Tinyurl task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Tinyurl account.
For example, ask it to:
- "Shorten a long event registration link"
- "Generate a custom alias for this product page"
- "Create short links for five URLs with tags"
What is the Tinyurl MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Tinyurl MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tinyurl account. It provides structured and secure access to URL shortening, so your agent can perform actions like generating, customizing, organizing, and managing short links seamlessly on your behalf.
- Instant URL shortening: Quickly convert long, unwieldy web addresses into concise, shareable TinyURL links with a simple prompt.
- Custom alias creation: Let your agent generate personalized short URLs by specifying custom aliases for recognizable, branded links.
- Domain selection and branding: Choose from supported TinyURL domains to create links that match your campaign or organization’s branding needs.
- Tagging and link organization: Easily add tags to each short link, organizing and categorizing them for future reference or tracking.
- Set link expiration: Define expiration dates for your short URLs, giving you full control over when links become inactive for better campaign management.
Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Tinyurl with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Tinyurl 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 Tinyurl 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 Tinyurl 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 Tinyurl MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Tinyurl tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Tinyurl 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 Tinyurl tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Tinyurl 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 Tinyurl data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
