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 Bread & Butter 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 Bread & Butter MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Bread & Butter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bread & Butter account. It provides structured and secure access to your applications, leads, visitor activity, attribution data, and user insights, so your agent can review application settings, find leads, analyze events, assess attribution, and summarize visitor journeys on your behalf.

  • Lead and visitor research: Have your agent list lead and visitor profiles, find profiles by email address, and review saved lead lists.
  • Attribution reporting: Let the agent retrieve visitor and conversion attribution metrics by reporting period and source.
  • User journey insights: Direct your agent to summarize attribution and user journey trends, including top pages and geographic details when needed.
  • Activity event review: Instruct your agent to list tracked events by user or date range and review the event definitions configured for your application.
  • Application overview: Have your agent list available applications and review settings, feature flags, plan details, and lead status definitions.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Bread & Butter with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Bread & Butter 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 Bread & Butter 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 Bread & Butter 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 Bread & Butter MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Bread & Butter tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Bread & Butter 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 Bread & Butter tools.

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