Install Homebox in TUUI
What you need first
- TUUI, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_HOMEBOX_URL,YOUR_HOMEBOX_TOKEN.
Steps
- Open
~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file. - Add this table at the end of the file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"homebox-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["homebox-mcp==1.2.0"],
"env": { "HOMEBOX_URL": "YOUR_HOMEBOX_URL", "HOMEBOX_TOKEN": "YOUR_HOMEBOX_TOKEN" }
}
}
} - Replace
YOUR_HOMEBOX_URL,YOUR_HOMEBOX_TOKENwith your own values. - Save the file and restart TUUI.
Check it worked
Ask TUUI: List the tools of homebox-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that TUUI sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
