Install TriliumNext (trilium-mcp) in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_TRILIUM_URL,YOUR_TRILIUM_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 trilium-mcp --env TRILIUM_URL=YOUR_TRILIUM_URL --env TRILIUM_TOKEN=YOUR_TRILIUM_TOKEN -- docker run -i --rm -e TRILIUM_URL -e TRILIUM_TOKEN ghcr.io/ovden13/trilium-mcp:0.1.5

2. Replace YOUR_TRILIUM_URL,YOUR_TRILIUM_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 trilium-mcp.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Codex.

The server starts, but its tools fail

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