Install LWS in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_LWS_LOGIN,YOUR_LWS_API_KEY.
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 lws-mcp --env LWS_LOGIN=YOUR_LWS_LOGIN --env LWS_API_KEY=YOUR_LWS_API_KEY -- uvx lws-mcp==0.2.1 - Replace
YOUR_LWS_LOGIN,YOUR_LWS_API_KEYwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of lws-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.
