How to integrate Bika.ai MCP with Codex

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

The Bika.ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bika.ai account. It provides structured and secure access to your spaces, databases, schemas, and records, so your agent can discover resources, inspect database structures, retrieve records, create records, and update or delete records on your behalf.

  • Space and resource discovery: Have your agent list available spaces and find databases and automations by name, type, or location.
  • Database structure review: Let the agent inspect a database's fields, views, and metadata before working with its records.
  • Record search and retrieval: Instruct your agent to list records from a database, select relevant fields, or fetch a specific record.
  • Record creation and updates: Direct your agent to add new database records or update fields across several existing records at once.
  • Record cleanup: Have your agent permanently delete selected records that are outdated, duplicated, or no longer needed.

Conclusion

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

Supported Tools

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

Create Records

Create one to ten records in a Bika database in one request and return every created record ID and field value.

Delete Records

Permanently delete one to ten explicitly identified records from a Bika database and return a deletion result for each ID.

Get Database Schema

Get a Bika database's metadata, views, and field definitions, including the field IDs needed to read and write records by ID.

Get Record

Get one Bika record by ID, with field values keyed by field name or field ID.

List Nodes

List the nodes in a Bika space so an agent can discover database and automation resource IDs by name, type, and path.

List Records

Return one cursor-controlled page of records from a Bika database, optionally selecting specific fields by name or ID.

List Spaces

List spaces available to the connected Bika account and return the space IDs needed by database tools.

Update Records

Update fields on one to ten existing Bika records in one request and return the updated records.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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