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 Dripcel MCP in Codex

Run the setup command

Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

Terminal

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.

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

The Dripcel MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Dripcel account. It provides structured and secure access to your SMS marketing campaigns, contacts, and analytics, so your agent can perform actions like sending messages, managing contacts, retrieving campaign results, and optimizing compliance checks on your behalf.

  • Automated SMS sending and scheduling: Easily instruct your agent to send targeted SMS messages to customers or schedule campaign deliveries for maximum impact.
  • Contact and tag management: Have your agent add tags to contacts, create new contacts on the fly, or delete outdated ones to keep your audience list clean and organized.
  • Campaign and delivery analytics: Let your agent fetch real-time campaign lists, delivery statuses, and sales data to keep you informed and support data-driven decisions.
  • Reply and compliance monitoring: Direct your agent to search for message replies using flexible filters or check your contact list against compliance rules before launching campaigns.
  • Credit balance and resources tracking: Ask your agent to check your current credit balance before sending messages or running large campaigns, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Conclusion

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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