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 Open sea 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.

  1. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml
bash

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

The Open sea MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your OpenSea account. It provides structured and secure access to your NFT marketplace activity, so your agent can perform actions like listing NFTs for sale, creating and fulfilling offers, checking account details, and managing your marketplace orders on your behalf.

  • NFT listing automation: Quickly list any ERC721 or ERC1155 NFT for sale on OpenSea, specifying price and collection details—all handled by your agent.
  • Offer creation and management: Instruct your agent to create criteria-based or single-item offers to purchase specific NFTs or those matching certain traits within a collection.
  • Order and listing fulfillment: Let your agent retrieve all necessary information and signatures to fulfill existing listings or offers, making transactions seamless and secure.
  • Marketplace activity insights: Have the agent pull your profile details, fetch all active listings or offers for a given collection, and provide you with up-to-date marketplace snapshots.
  • Order cancellation and management: Direct your agent to cancel open orders, listings, or offers off-chain, helping you stay in control of your marketplace participation with ease.

Conclusion

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

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