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 Verifi.Email 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 Verifi.Email MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Verifi.Email MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Verifi.Email account. It provides structured and secure access to email validation and domain security checks, so your agent can validate individual addresses, check address lists, detect disposable emails, assess domain health, and review email security recommendations on your behalf.

  • Single email validation: Have your agent validate an email address and review its overall validity, syntax, mail server, spoofing, and disposable-address signals.
  • Batch email validation: Instruct your agent to check up to 10 email addresses at once and return an ordered result for every entry, including malformed addresses.
  • Domain security assessment: Let the agent check a domain's SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI configuration to assess its email security health.
  • Provider recommendations: Direct your agent to review protocol scores and provider recommendations for improving a domain's email security configuration.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Verifi.Email with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Verifi.Email 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 Verifi.Email 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 Verifi.Email operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
TOOLS

Supported Tools

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

Check Domain Health

Check a bare domain's SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI configuration and return protocol scores plus provider recommendations.

Validate Email

Validate one non-empty email address and return its overall validity plus syntax, MX, spoofing, and disposable-address signals.

Validate Emails

Validate 1-10 email address strings in one synchronous request and return one ordered result per input, including malformed strings as invalid results.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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