Install Zaai Dev in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Node.js, which
gives the
npxcommand the server starts with. - Your own value for
YOUR_ZAAI_API_TOKEN.
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 zaai-dev-mcp --env ZAAI_API_TOKEN=YOUR_ZAAI_API_TOKEN -- npx -y @zaai-dev/[email protected] - Replace
YOUR_ZAAI_API_TOKENwith your own value. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of zaai-dev-mcp.
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
npxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
