Install Xbird in Codex

What you need first

  • Codex, installed.
  • Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_XBIRD_AUTH_TOKEN,YOUR_XBIRD_CT0,YOUR_XBIRD_PRIVATE_KEY.

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 xbird --env XBIRD_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_XBIRD_AUTH_TOKEN --env XBIRD_CT0=YOUR_XBIRD_CT0 --env XBIRD_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_XBIRD_PRIVATE_KEY -- npx -y [email protected]
  1. Replace YOUR_XBIRD_AUTH_TOKEN,YOUR_XBIRD_CT0,YOUR_XBIRD_PRIVATE_KEY with your own values.
  2. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of xbird.

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 npx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
