Install Everything File Search in Amp

What you need first

• Amp, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.

Steps

1. Open ~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file.
2. Add this table at the end of the file.

{
  "amp.mcpServers": {
    "everything-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["everything-mcp==1.0.9"]
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file and restart Amp.

Check it worked

Ask Amp: List the tools of everything-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT

uv is not on the PATH that Amp sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
