Install C6 in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Node.js, which
gives the
npxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_C6_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_C6_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_C6_CERT_PATH,YOUR_C6_KEY_PATH.
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 mcp-c6 --env C6_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_C6_CLIENT_ID --env C6_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_C6_CLIENT_SECRET --env C6_CERT_PATH=YOUR_C6_CERT_PATH --env C6_KEY_PATH=YOUR_C6_KEY_PATH -- npx -y @codespar/[email protected] - Replace
YOUR_C6_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_C6_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_C6_CERT_PATH,YOUR_C6_KEY_PATHwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of mcp-c6.
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
npxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
