How to integrate Radar MCP with Codex

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Radar MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

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 Radar 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 Radar MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Radar MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Radar account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced location services, so your agent can perform actions like geocoding addresses, managing geofences, tracking trips, searching places, and retrieving location context on your behalf.

  • Address and place autocomplete: Instantly get relevant address or place suggestions based on partial user input, improving data quality and user experience.
  • Precise geocoding and location context: Convert full addresses to latitude/longitude and fetch rich context—including region, geofence, and place details—for any set of coordinates.
  • Geofence management: Retrieve, create, or delete geofences to define dynamic boundaries and monitor activity within specific areas automatically.
  • Trip creation and tracking: Start, fetch, or delete trips to enable real-time location tracking and trip management for devices or users.
  • Live user monitoring in geofences: Effortlessly list all users currently inside a defined geofence, supporting presence-based automation and analytics.

Conclusion

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

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