And MCP makes the experience even better. With Zenserp MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Zenserp with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### 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 1500+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Zenserp to Codex ### How to install Zenserp MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Zenserp MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Zenserp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zenserp account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time search engine results, so your agent can perform actions like running Google searches, grabbing news headlines, pulling images, analyzing trends, and even fetching local business data on your behalf. - Comprehensive Google and Bing search: Instantly run structured web searches and retrieve up-to-date SERP data from Google or Bing for any query. - Automated news and trend analysis: Have your agent fetch recent Google News articles or analyze keyword popularity over time using Google Trends data. - Reverse image and visual content search: Perform reverse image lookups or image searches to discover where an image appears online or find relevant pictures for any topic. - Shopping and video discovery: Search Google Shopping for product offers or Google Video for relevant multimedia results, all via agent-driven queries. - Local and map-based business lookup: Let your agent use Google Maps search to find businesses or places based on location, keywords, or coordinates for local intelligence. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ZENSERP_BING_SEARCH` | Bing Search | Tool to obtain Bing search results.

With a standalone Zenserp MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Zenserp tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Zenserp 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 Zenserp tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Zenserp while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Zenserp 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 Zenserp data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
