Install Vericto Proxy mode (local, PostgreSQL) in Codex

What you need first

  • Codex, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal. It writes the server into ~/.codex/config.toml, which the Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share.
codex mcp add vericto-proxy -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/vericto/vericto-proxy:5.0.0@sha256:4cec9c42f94946a6e0509192b89b63bd71450a7f27088496b034c9dd76791fa9 /usr/local/bin/vericto-proxy mcp --database-url-file /run/secrets/db.url
  1. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of vericto-proxy.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Codex.
