Install ProxmoxMCP-Plus in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST,YOUR_PROXMOX_USER,YOUR_PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME,YOUR_PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE.
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 proxmox-mcp-plus --env PROXMOX_HOST=YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST --env PROXMOX_USER=YOUR_PROXMOX_USER --env PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME=YOUR_PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME --env PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE=YOUR_PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE -- uvx proxmox-mcp-plus==0.6.6 - Replace
YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST,YOUR_PROXMOX_USER,YOUR_PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME,YOUR_PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUEwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of proxmox-mcp-plus.
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.
