Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Webex 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 Webex 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 connect.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_*******" }

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

The Webex MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Webex account. It provides structured and secure access to your meetings, teams, rooms, and messaging, so your agent can perform actions like managing teams, creating rooms, posting messages, and handling memberships on your behalf.

  • Automated team and room management: Quickly create new teams or rooms, group conversations by topic, and keep collaboration spaces organized through your agent.
  • Seamless messaging and announcements: Direct your agent to post messages, send important files, or share updates with individuals or entire rooms instantly.
  • Membership and access control: Effortlessly add or remove members from teams and spaces, ensuring the right people have access at the right time.
  • Webhook and event integrations: List and manage Webex webhooks so your agent can react to events or changes as they happen in your workspace.
  • Content and message cleanup: Ask your agent to delete outdated or mistaken messages and memberships, keeping your workspace tidy and relevant.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Webex MCP?

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

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

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