Install Apple Music in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_APPLE_TEAM_ID,YOUR_APPLE_KEY_ID,YOUR_APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY,YOUR_APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN.

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 mcp-apple-music --env APPLE_TEAM_ID=YOUR_APPLE_TEAM_ID --env APPLE_KEY_ID=YOUR_APPLE_KEY_ID --env APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY --env APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN=YOUR_APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN -- uvx mcp-apple-music-server==1.3.0

2. Replace YOUR_APPLE_TEAM_ID,YOUR_APPLE_KEY_ID,YOUR_APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY,YOUR_APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN with your own values.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of mcp-apple-music.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT

uv is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
