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

The Imgix MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Imgix account. It provides structured and secure access to your image library, so your agent can perform actions like optimizing images, applying overlays, adjusting visual properties, and extracting color palettes on your behalf.

  • Real-time image optimization: Ask your agent to automatically compress, enhance, or format images for faster delivery and better quality using Imgix's auto optimization tools.
  • Dynamic overlays and blending: Direct the agent to blend images, text, or solid colors over your base images—perfect for watermarks, banners, or creative composites.
  • Precision image adjustments: Have your agent modify image brightness, contrast, and border settings to meet your design and branding needs instantly.
  • Extract and analyze color palettes: Let your agent pull color palettes from any image, making it easy to generate theme colors or analyze brand consistency.
  • Fine-tune overlay positioning: Control exactly where overlays appear on your images by specifying alignment and pixel-level positioning through your agent.

Conclusion

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

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