Connecting Codex CLI

Status: ✅ Current · Last reviewed: 2026-06-18

OpenAI's Codex CLI is MCP-only — it connects to the Memeri gateway over HTTP. (For local file + terminal telemetry, run Codex inside the platform Terminal, or use Claude Code.)

Step 1 — Add Memeri as an MCP server

In Codex's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memeri": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "{{GATEWAY_URL}}/mcp",
      "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": "<paste your token>" }
    }
  }
}

Codex's exact config-file path varies by version — check Codex's own docs for the location. Your token is on the Connect page.

Step 2 — Restart and verify

Restart Codex and make any tool call. The Telemetry Health panel on the Connect page should show MCP = Live.
