Install agend-sh in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own value for
YOUR_AGEND_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 agend-sh --env AGEND_API_TOKEN=YOUR_AGEND_API_TOKEN -- docker run -i --rm -e AGEND_API_TOKEN ghcr.io/agend-sh/agend-mcp@sha256:4462e2571be0e69003e1be93255e04523342e1e5aa17482ec3d63bd7506bb82f - Replace
YOUR_AGEND_API_TOKENwith your own value. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of agend-sh.
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.
