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 Studio By Ai21 Labs MCP in Codex
Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.
It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
(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 composioVerify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
bash
codex mcp listCodex App
Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.
- Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
- Fill the header and Key fields with
{ "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }. - The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on dashboard.composio.dev
- Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
- 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 Studio By Ai21 Labs MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Studio By Ai21 Labs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Studio By Ai21 Labs account. It provides structured and secure access to your assistants, models, library files, website connectors, plans, and secrets, so your agent can create and update assistants, run conversations, review available models, manage assistant plans, and inspect workspace resources on your behalf.
- Assistant creation and management: Have your agent create new assistants, review existing ones, update their settings, and organize routes for how they operate.
- Conversational assistant runs: Let the agent run an AI21 Studio assistant with conversational input to generate responses for your applications and workflows.
- Assistant planning: Direct your agent to create plans that define how an assistant should approach and complete its work.
- Models and workspace resources: Instruct your agent to list available AI21 models, review library files with optional filters, and inspect stored secrets.
- Website knowledge connections: Have your agent create website connectors that make web content available to your AI21 Studio workspace.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
With a standalone Studio By Ai21 Labs MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Studio By Ai21 Labs tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Studio By Ai21 Labs 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 Studio By Ai21 Labs tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Studio By Ai21 Labs 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 Studio By Ai21 Labs data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.
Abhi Arya
Co-founder, Opennote
We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.
Ryan Yu
Founder, Extra Thursday
Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
