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

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

http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }

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.
Retrieve custom field by idRetrieves a wrike custom field's detailed information (e.
Query invitationsRetrieves all active invitations in wrike, useful for viewing and auditing pending invitations or managing user onboarding.
Get group by idRetrieves detailed information for a specific wrike group using its `groupid`, optionally including 'metadata'.
Query workflowsFetches a list of all workflows with their detailed information from the wrike account; this is a read-only action and does not support pagination or filtering through its parameters.
Retrieve list of groupsRetrieves a list of user groups from the wrike account, supporting metadata filtering, pagination, and inclusion of specific fields; this is a read-only operation.
Update custom field by idUpdates properties of an existing wrike custom field by its id, such as its title, type, scope, or sharing settings.
Update invitationUpdates a pending wrike invitation (`invitationid`) to resend it or change user's role/type (use `usertypeid` over deprecated `role`/`external`).
Update metadata on a specific contactUpdates metadata, job role, or custom fields for an existing wrike contact specified by `contactid`; if `jobroleid` is provided, it must be a valid id.
Update a specific userUpdates specified profile attributes (e.

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.
