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

The Cloudconvert MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your CloudConvert account. It provides structured and secure access to your file conversion workflows, so your agent can perform actions like converting files, exporting results to cloud storage, managing webhooks, and exploring supported formats on your behalf.

  • Seamless file conversion: Ask your agent to convert documents, images, audio, video, spreadsheets, or presentations between hundreds of supported formats automatically.
  • Automated export to cloud storage: Direct your agent to export converted files directly into your Google Cloud Storage or Amazon S3 buckets, streamlining storage and distribution.
  • Format discovery and optimization: Have the agent list all supported conversion formats, engines, and options, so you can choose the best settings for your needs.
  • Webhook management: Let your agent create, list, or delete webhooks to receive real-time notifications about conversion events and automate downstream processes.
  • Task tracking and user info: Retrieve detailed task histories, filter by status or date, and confirm the authenticated user’s account details for secure operations.

Conclusion

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

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