How to integrate 44API MCP with Codex

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With 44API 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 1000+ 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 44API 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 dashboard.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 44API MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The 44API MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your 44API account. It provides structured and secure access to VAT and tax validation, available company details, and your account IP whitelist, so your agent can validate tax identifiers, retrieve company details, list approved IP addresses, add IP addresses, and remove IP addresses on your behalf.

  • VAT and tax ID validation: Have your agent validate a VAT number or tax identifier for a supported country and report whether it is valid.
  • Company detail lookup: Let the agent return company details found during validation when they are available on your connected plan.
  • IP whitelist review: Direct your agent to list every IPv4 and IPv6 address currently allowed by your account whitelist.
  • IP whitelist additions: Instruct your agent to add an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the account whitelist using your verification email address.
  • IP whitelist removals: Have your agent remove an IPv4 or IPv6 address that should no longer be allowed.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated 44API with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with 44API directly from your terminal, VS Code, or the Codex App using natural language commands.

Key benefits of this setup:

  • Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
  • Natural language commands for 44API operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking Codex to perform various 44API operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every 44API action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Add Whitelisted IP

Add one IPv4 or IPv6 address to the account whitelist using a verification email address.

List Whitelisted IPs

List IP addresses currently allowed by the account whitelist.

Remove Whitelisted IP

Remove one IPv4 or IPv6 address from the account whitelist.

Validate VAT Number

Validate one VAT or tax ID for a supported country and return its validity plus any company details available on the connected plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone 44API MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of 44API tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from 44API and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 44API tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which 44API 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.

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 44API data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
