Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Wrike 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 Wrike 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 Wrike MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Wrike MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Wrike account. It provides structured and secure access to your project spaces, so your agent can perform actions like creating tasks, managing folders, handling group memberships, sending workspace invitations, and automating project workflows on your behalf.

  • Automated task creation and management: Let your agent quickly create new tasks in specific folders, assign details, and keep your projects moving forward without manual input.
  • Dynamic folder and project organization: Have your agent generate new folders or subfolders to structure work, or clean up by deleting old folders and their contents when projects wrap up.
  • Efficient user and group management: Easily add, remove, or modify group memberships and create new user groups to keep team permissions organized and up-to-date.
  • Seamless workspace invitations: Direct your agent to invite teammates or collaborators to your Wrike workspace via email, including customizing invitation details for better onboarding.
  • Custom field and data cleanup: Empower your agent to delete custom fields, tasks, or groups when they're no longer needed, helping you maintain a clean and efficient workspace.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Bulk modify group membersAdds or removes members for multiple wrike groups in a single request; all specified user ids must correspond to existing wrike users.
Create a folderCreates a new wrike subfolder within the specified `folderid`, optionally as a project if `customitemtypeid` is given; the folder is auto-shared with its creator.
Create a groupCreates a new user group in wrike with a specified title, optionally setting members, parent group, avatar, and custom metadata.
Create invitationInvites a user to a wrike workspace by email, optionally with name, specifying either `usertypeid` or a combination of `role`/`external`; custom email subject/message available for paid accounts.
Create task in folderCreates a new task in a specified wrike folder; if setting priority with `prioritybefore` or `priorityafter`, the referenced task must be in the same folder or project.
Delete custom field by idPermanently deletes a custom field by its id; this action is irreversible and requires a valid, existing custom field id.
Delete folderPermanently deletes the folder specified by `folderid` and all its contents (e.
Delete group by idPermanently deletes a group by its `groupid`; this action is irreversible and does not affect user accounts that were members of the group.
Delete invitationPermanently deletes an existing invitation, specified by its unique `invitationid`; this action cannot be undone.
Delete taskPermanently deletes a wrike task and all its associated data by its id; this action is irreversible and the task must exist.
Fetch all tasksFetches tasks from a wrike account, allowing filtering by status, due date, and subfolder inclusion, with customizable response fields and pagination.
Get account informationRetrieves detailed wrike account information, where the response content is influenced by selected fields, account subscription, and user permissions.
Get all custom fieldsRetrieves all custom field definitions (including id, name, type, and settings) from the wrike account; this returns the definitions themselves, not their specific values on wrike items, and is useful for obtaining custom field ids.
Get contactsRetrieves a list of wrike contacts (e.
Get foldersRetrieves folders and/or projects from wrike, with filters; when using `nextpagetoken`, all other filter parameters must match the initial request.
Get specific contact informationRetrieves detailed information for a specific wrike contact using their unique `contactid`, optionally including `metadata` and `customfields` if specified in the `fields` parameter.
Get specific userRetrieves detailed information about a specific user in wrike using their unique user id.
Get task by idRetrieves read-only detailed information for a specific wrike task by its unique id, optionally allowing specification of fields to include in the response.
Launch folder blueprint asyncAsynchronously launches a new project or folder structure in wrike from a specified folder blueprint, typically returning a task id to track progress.
Launch Task Blueprint AsyncAsynchronously launches a wrike task blueprint to create tasks/projects, requiring either `super task id` (parent task) or `parent id` (parent folder/project) for placement.
List Folder BlueprintsRetrieves all account-level folder blueprints, which are templates for standardizing folder/project creation with predefined structures, custom fields, and workflows.
List space folder blueprintsLists all folder blueprints (templates for new folders/projects) within a specified wrike space, requiring a valid and accessible space id.
List space task blueprintsLists task blueprints (templates for creating tasks with consistent structures) available in a specific, accessible wrike space.
List subfolders by folder idLists subfolders (metadata only, not their contents) for an existing wrike folder specified by `folderid`, supporting recursive descent, filtering, and pagination.
List Task BlueprintsRetrieves a list of defined task blueprints (predefined task templates) from the wrike account, supporting pagination.
Update account metadataUpdates or adds custom key-value metadata to the wrike account, useful for integrations, storing app-specific data, or mapping external system identifiers.
Modify folder attributesModifies an existing wrike folder: updates title, description, parents (not root/recycle bin), sharing, metadata, custom fields/columns; restores, converts to project, or manages access roles.
Modify groupUpdates an existing wrike user group's attributes like title, members, parent, avatar, or metadata, using its `groupid` and specifying only the fields to change.
Modify taskModifies an existing wrike task by its id, allowing updates to attributes such as title, status, dates, assignees, and custom fields; `prioritybefore` and `priorityafter` are mutually exclusive, and parent folder ids for `addparents`/`removeparents` cannot be the recycle bin.

FAQ

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

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

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

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