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 Android Texter 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.

  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 Android Texter MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Android Texter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Android Texter account. It provides structured and secure access to your text messages, contacts, linked Android devices, and quick replies, so your agent can send SMS and MMS messages, review conversations, check delivery status, find contacts, and manage reusable replies on your behalf.

  • SMS and MMS messaging: Have your agent send a message to one person or deliver the same message to up to 10 recipients through a linked Android device.
  • Message and conversation review: Instruct your agent to list sent or received messages and review your conversation history with a specific phone number.
  • Delivery status checks: Let the agent check whether a sent message is queued, sent, delivered, or failed.
  • Contact and device lookup: Direct your agent to find contacts by name, phone text, or tag, and view linked Android devices and their online status.
  • Reusable quick replies: Have your agent list, create, update, or delete saved quick replies for messages you send often.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Android Texter with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Android Texter 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 Android Texter 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 Android Texter operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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