Install Chipzen in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN,YOUR_CHIPZEN_BOT_ID.

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 chipzen-mcp --env CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN=YOUR_CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN --env CHIPZEN_BOT_ID=YOUR_CHIPZEN_BOT_ID -- uvx chipzen-mcp==0.3.1

2. Replace YOUR_CHIPZEN_EXTBOT_TOKEN,YOUR_CHIPZEN_BOT_ID with your own values.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of chipzen-mcp.

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 uvx in the config.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
