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 Bland 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 Bland AI MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Bland 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 Bland AI account. It provides structured and secure access to your account details, call history, contacts, knowledge bases, pathways, and agent tools, so your agent can review calls, check account status, explore resources, inspect configurations, and organize pathway folders on your behalf.

  • Call history review: Have your agent search existing inbound and outbound calls to help you review recent communication activity.
  • Account status checks: Let the agent report your account status, call count, balance, and refill settings whenever you need an update.
  • Contacts and knowledge access: Direct your agent to list organization contacts or review available knowledge bases, including their processing status and source details.
  • Pathway and tool discovery: Instruct your agent to inspect conversational pathways and search the active or draft tools configured for your Bland AI agents.
  • Pathway folder organization: Have your agent create and rename pathway folders, review their organization, or delete empty folders you no longer need.

Conclusion

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

Supported Tools

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

Create Pathway Folder

Rename Pathway Folder

Rename an existing pathway folder without moving or changing any pathways inside it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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