What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_OVH_APPLICATION_KEY,YOUR_OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET,YOUR_OVH_CONSUMER_KEY.
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 ovh-api-mcp --env OVH_APPLICATION_KEY=YOUR_OVH_APPLICATION_KEY --env OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET=YOUR_OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET --env OVH_CONSUMER_KEY=YOUR_OVH_CONSUMER_KEY -- docker run -i --rm -e OVH_APPLICATION_KEY -e OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET -e OVH_CONSUMER_KEY ghcr.io/davidlandais/ovh-api-mcp:0.3.0 - Replace
YOUR_OVH_APPLICATION_KEY,YOUR_OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET,YOUR_OVH_CONSUMER_KEYwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
