Install M-Pesa Daraja in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_DARAJA_CONSUMER_KEY,YOUR_DARAJA_CONSUMER_SECRET.
Steps
- 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 mpesa-daraja-mcp --env DARAJA_CONSUMER_KEY=YOUR_DARAJA_CONSUMER_KEY --env DARAJA_CONSUMER_SECRET=YOUR_DARAJA_CONSUMER_SECRET -- uvx mpesa-daraja-mcp==0.1.3 - Replace
YOUR_DARAJA_CONSUMER_KEY,YOUR_DARAJA_CONSUMER_SECRETwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of mpesa-daraja-mcp.
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
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
