How to integrate Authyo MCP with Codex

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Authyo MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

Api Key

Authyo is a REST API service for passwordless authentication, OTP verification, session management, and transactional notifications. Use it to add secure login flows and user verification without building auth infrastructure from scratch.

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 Authyo 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 Authyo MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Authyo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Authyo account. It provides structured and secure access to passwordless authentication, user sessions, and transactional notifications, so your agent can send and verify one-time passwords, validate and revoke sessions, and send order or payment notifications on your behalf.

  • One-time password delivery: Have your agent send a one-time password to a user's email address or international phone number through your configured sender.
  • One-time password verification: Let the agent verify a user-provided code and confirm the user's identity without exposing their session token.
  • Session validation: Direct your agent to validate a session token and retrieve the identity associated with it.
  • Secure session revocation: Instruct your agent to revoke a user's session when they log out or when access should be withdrawn.
  • Order and payment notifications: Have your agent send transactional order or payment updates using Authyo's built-in templates and your configured sender.

Conclusion

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

Supported Tools

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

Revoke Session

Irreversibly revoke an Authyo user session identified by its JWT, typically during logout.

Send Order Notification

Send a usage-billed order or payment notification through an Authyo built-in template; requires a configured sender.

Send OTP

Send a usage-billed one-time password to an email address or international phone number using Authyo's configured sender.

Verify OTP

Verify a user-provided OTP for an Authyo mask ID and return the verified user identity without exposing the issued session JWT.

Verify Token

Validate an Authyo session JWT and return its associated user identity without returning the JWT.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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