Install WAGO PLC in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_TRANSPORT,YOUR_WAGO_PLC_HOSTS,YOUR_DEFAULT_PLC_USERNAME,YOUR_DEFAULT_PLC_PASSWORD,YOUR_WAGO_ALLOW_WRITES.
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 wago-plc-mcp-server --env TRANSPORT=YOUR_TRANSPORT --env WAGO_PLC_HOSTS=YOUR_WAGO_PLC_HOSTS --env DEFAULT_PLC_USERNAME=YOUR_DEFAULT_PLC_USERNAME --env DEFAULT_PLC_PASSWORD=YOUR_DEFAULT_PLC_PASSWORD --env WAGO_ALLOW_WRITES=YOUR_WAGO_ALLOW_WRITES -- uvx wago-plc-mcp-server==2.4.4 - Replace
YOUR_TRANSPORT,YOUR_WAGO_PLC_HOSTS,YOUR_DEFAULT_PLC_USERNAME,YOUR_DEFAULT_PLC_PASSWORD,YOUR_WAGO_ALLOW_WRITESwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of wago-plc-mcp-server.
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.
