And MCP makes the experience even better. With Zyte api MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Zyte api with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Zyte api to Codex ### How to install Zyte api 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 Zyte api MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Zyte api MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zyte api account. It provides structured and secure access to Zyte's web scraping and status monitoring tools, so your agent can perform actions like checking service health, monitoring incidents, reviewing maintenance schedules, and analyzing component statuses on your behalf. - Real-time service health summaries: Instantly request a high-level overview of Zyte API status, including component health, unresolved incidents, and active maintenances. - Incident monitoring and retrieval: Let your agent fetch unresolved incidents or review recent status incidents to stay on top of service disruptions and outages. - Maintenance schedule tracking: Ask your agent to list upcoming or currently active scheduled maintenances, so you never miss important downtime windows. - Component health insights: Have the agent retrieve detailed statuses for individual Zyte API components, helping you quickly diagnose potential issues in your pipeline. - Automated status rollups and alerts: Get consolidated summaries of the overall Zyte API health or trigger alerts when new incidents or maintenances are detected. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ZYTE_API_ACTIVE_SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCES` | Fetch Active Scheduled Maintenances | Retrieves currently active scheduled maintenances that are in 'In Progress' or 'Verifying' state. Use this to check for ongoing maintenance events that may affect Zyte API availability. Returns an empty list if no maintenances are currently active. | | `ZYTE_API_COMPONENTS` | Zyte API Components | Retrieves all Zyte service components with their current operational status. Returns component details including status (operational, degraded_performance, partial_outage, major_outage), descriptions, groupings, and metadata. Useful for monitoring service health and identifying issues. No parameters required - provides a real-time snapshot of all Zyte infrastructure components. | | `ZYTE_API_EXTRACT_ZYTE_API` | Extract Data from URL | Tool to extract data from URLs using Zyte API's HTTP, browser, and AI-powered extraction capabilities. Use when you need to scrape web pages, extract structured data (products, articles, jobs, etc.), capture screenshots, or perform browser automation. Supports geolocation targeting and custom extraction schemas. | | `ZYTE_API_GET_SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCES` | Get scheduled maintenances | Tool to get the 50 most recent scheduled maintenances (upcoming and completed) from Zyte status API. Use after confirming you need the latest maintenance schedule for monitoring. | | `ZYTE_API_GET_UNRESOLVED_INCIDENTS` | Zyte API: Get Unresolved Incidents | Tool to retrieve unresolved incidents from Zyte status API. Use when you need to check currently open incidents. | | `ZYTE_API_LIST_INCIDENTS` | List Zyte API status incidents | Retrieves the 50 most recent incidents from the Zyte API status page, including both resolved and unresolved incidents. Use this tool to check current API health, review incident history, or get detailed information about service disruptions affecting Zyte services. | | `ZYTE_API_STATUS` | Get Zyte API Status Rollup | Retrieves comprehensive operational status for all Zyte services. Returns current status of components (Zyte API, Smart Proxy Manager, Scrapy Cloud, etc.), active incidents, and scheduled maintenance windows. Use this to check service health before making API calls or to diagnose issues. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Zyte api MCP server provides comprehensive access to Zyte api operations through Composio.

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