Install agend-sh in Codex

What you need first

  • Codex, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
  • Your own value for YOUR_AGEND_API_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 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
  1. Replace YOUR_AGEND_API_TOKEN with your own value.
  2. 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.
