How do you add an MCP server to Codex?
codex mcp add for stdio servers
codex mcp add <name> -- <command>, for example codex mcp add context7 -- npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp.
config.toml for Streamable HTTP servers
Add a [mcp_servers.<name>] table with a url to ~/.codex/config.toml. Use bearer_token_env_var for token auth.
OAuth sign-in with codex mcp login
codex mcp login <name>. Codex supports OAuth with Client ID Metadata Documents and Dynamic Client Registration.
Project-scoped .codex/config.toml
You can scope servers to a trusted project with .codex/config.toml. The ChatGPT desktop app, Codex CLI and IDE extension share the configuration. (Codex docs)
Which servers fit each job?
How do tool allow lists and approval modes work?
Each server table accepts enabled_tools (allow list) and disabled_tools (deny list, applied after the allow list), plus default_tools_approval_mode with values auto, prompt, writes or approve. (Codex docs)
What else do people ask?
How do I add an MCP server to Codex?
Run codex mcp add <name> -- <command> for a local stdio server, or add a [mcp_servers.<name>] table with a url to ~/.codex/config.toml for a Streamable HTTP server. Run codex mcp list to check it.
Where does Codex store MCP configuration?
In config.toml, by default ~/.codex/config.toml. You can also scope servers to a trusted project with .codex/config.toml, and the ChatGPT desktop app, CLI and IDE extension share the same config.
How do I sign in to an OAuth MCP server in Codex?
Run codex mcp login <name>. Codex supports OAuth with Client ID Metadata Documents and Dynamic Client Registration, and uses /mcp in the TUI to show active servers.
Can I limit which tools an MCP server exposes to Codex?
Yes. Use enabled_tools and disabled_tools in the server's config.toml table, and set default_tools_approval_mode to prompt, writes or approve to control approvals.
Which MCP servers does OpenAI suggest for Codex?
OpenAI's Codex MCP docs list examples including OpenAI Docs MCP, Context7, Figma, Playwright, Chrome DevTools, Sentry and GitHub. Check each one's score and auth status in our table before adding it.
