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 Uploadcare 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
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }

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

The Uploadcare MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Uploadcare account. It provides structured and secure access to your file storage, processing, and delivery pipeline, so your agent can perform actions like listing files, retrieving file info, managing webhooks, rotating images, and handling file metadata on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive file listing and retrieval: Ask your agent to list all files stored in your Uploadcare project, filter by criteria, or fetch detailed metadata for any file.
  • Direct file download and sharing: Effortlessly generate secure, temporary download links for your files so you can share them or integrate with other services.
  • Automated image processing: Let your agent rotate images by 90, 180, or 270 degrees, making quick edits or transformations without manual intervention.
  • Webhook management for event automation: Easily create, list, or delete webhooks so your agent can subscribe to file events and enable real-time notifications or integrations.
  • Metadata and group management: Enable your agent to update or delete file metadata and organize files into groups for streamlined file handling and workflows.

Conclusion

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

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