Introduction

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

Composio removes the Authentication handling completely from you. We handle the entire integration lifecycle, and all you need to do is just copy the URL below, authenticate inside Codex, and start using it.

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 Turbot pipes MCP in Codex

Codex CLI

Run the command in your terminal.

Terminal

This will auto-redirect you to the Rube authentication page.

Rube authentication redirect page

Once you're authenticated, you will be able to access the tools.

Verify the installation by running:

codex mcp list

If you otherwise prefer to use config.toml, add the following URL to it. You can get the bearer token from rube.app → Use Rube → MCP URL → Generate token

[projects."/home/user/composio"]
trust_level = "untrusted"

[mcp_servers.rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex in VS Code

If you have installed Codex in VS Code.

Then: ⚙️ → MCP Settings → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

Add the Rube MCP URL: https://rube.app/mcp and the bearer token.

VS Code MCP Settings

To verify, click on the Open config.toml

Open config toml in Codex

Make sure it's there:

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

  1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
Codex App MCP Settings
  1. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"
  1. Save, restart the extension, and start working.

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

The Turbot pipes MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Turbot pipes account. It provides structured and secure access to your Turbot Pipes platform, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving activity logs, managing workspaces, exploring identities, viewing organizations, and handling notification endpoints on your behalf.

  • Activity monitoring and auditing: Ask your agent to fetch detailed activity logs for your account, helping you track user actions and audit changes across your Turbot Pipes environment.
  • Workspace and organization management: Retrieve and list all organizations and workspaces associated with your account to keep tabs on your team’s collaboration spaces and resources.
  • Identity exploration and avatar retrieval: Let your agent search identities, fetch details by handle, and even grab profile avatars—useful for user management and directory automation.
  • Notification endpoint discovery: Quickly list all user notifiers set up for your account, so you can manage or audit where and how notifications are delivered.
  • Account and connection insights: Access detailed information about the authenticated actor and their connections to maintain visibility and control over account access and linked integrations.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Turbot pipes with Codex using Composio's Rube MCP server. Now you can interact with Turbot pipes 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 Turbot pipes operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio's Rube
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 870+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking Codex to perform various Turbot pipes operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Turbot pipes MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Turbot pipes while using Tool Router?

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