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 Mem0 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.

What is the Mem0 MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Mem0 MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mem0 account. It provides structured and secure access to your notes, projects, and organizational knowledge, so your agent can perform actions like searching memories, managing users, adding content, and orchestrating agent runs on your behalf.

  • AI-powered memory search and recall: Let your agent search and retrieve existing memory entries using advanced filters and pagination to surface just the right note or piece of information.
  • Automated content and note creation: Have your agent store new memory records from conversations, meetings, or tasks—ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Collaboration and organization management: Direct your agent to add members to projects or organizations, assign roles, and keep team structures up to date.
  • Agent and application orchestration: Enable your agent to create new AI agents, initiate agent runs, and manage applications for custom workflows and automation.
  • Structured knowledge export and reporting: Ask your agent to initiate export jobs with specific schemas and filters, so you can back up or analyze your stored knowledge on demand.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Mem0 with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Mem0 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 Mem0 operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows

  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Mem0 action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Add member to project

Adds an existing user to a project (identified by `project_id` within organization `org_id`), assigning a valid system role.

Add new memory records

Stores new memory records from a list of messages, optionally inferring structured content; requires association via `agent_id`, `user_id`, `app_id`, or `run_id`.

Add organization member

Adds a new member, who must be a registered user, to an organization, assigning them a specific role.

Create a new agent

Creates a new agent with a unique `agent_id` and an optional `name`; additional metadata may be assigned by the system.

Create a new agent run

Creates a new agent run in the mem0.

Create a new application

Creates a new application, allowing metadata to be passed in the request body (not an explicit field in this action's request model); ensure `app_id` is unique to avoid potential errors or unintended updates.

Create a new organization entry

Creates a new organization entry using the provided name and returns its details.

Create a new user

Creates a new user with the specified unique `user_id` and supports associating `metadata` (not part of the request schema fields).

Create memory entry

Lists/searches existing memory entries with filtering and pagination; critically, this action retrieves memories and does *not* create new ones, despite its name.

Create project

Creates a new project with a given name within an organization that must already exist.

Create webhook

Creates a new webhook for a specific project to receive real-time notifications.

Delete an organization

Permanently deletes an existing organization identified by its unique ID.

Delete memory by id

Permanently deletes a specific memory by its unique ID; ensure the `memory_id` exists as this operation is irreversible.

Delete entity by type and id

Call to permanently and irreversibly hard-delete an existing entity (user, agent, app, or run) and all its associated data, using its type and ID.

Delete memories

Deletes all memories matching specified filter criteria.

Delete memory batch with uuids

Deletes a batch of up to 1000 existing memories, identified by their UUIDs, in a single API call.

Delete project

Permanently deletes a specific project and all its associated data from an organization; this action cannot be undone and requires the project to exist within the specified organization.

Delete project member

Removes an existing member, specified by email address, from a project, immediately revoking their project-specific access; the user is not removed from the organization.

Delete webhook

Deletes a webhook and stops receiving notifications for the specified webhook ID.

Export data based on filters

Creates a new memory export job with optional entity filters (user_id, agent_id, app_id, run_id).

List organizations

Retrieves a summary list of organizations for administrative oversight; returns summary data (names, IDs), not exhaustive details, despite 'detailed' in the name.

Fetch details of a specific organization

Fetches comprehensive details for an organization using its `org_id`; the `org_id` must be valid and for an existing organization.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Mem0 MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Mem0 tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Mem0 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 Mem0 tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Mem0 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 Mem0 data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
