Install Pusher Channels in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_PUSHER_APP_ID,YOUR_PUSHER_KEY,YOUR_PUSHER_SECRET,YOUR_PUSHER_CLUSTER.

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 pusher-mcp-server --env PUSHER_APP_ID=YOUR_PUSHER_APP_ID --env PUSHER_KEY=YOUR_PUSHER_KEY --env PUSHER_SECRET=YOUR_PUSHER_SECRET --env PUSHER_CLUSTER=YOUR_PUSHER_CLUSTER -- npx -y @crashbytes/[email protected]

2. Replace YOUR_PUSHER_APP_ID,YOUR_PUSHER_KEY,YOUR_PUSHER_SECRET,YOUR_PUSHER_CLUSTER with your own values.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of pusher-mcp-server.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT

Node.js is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in the config.

The server starts, but its tools fail

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