Add my server

Install Transcode in Amp

What you need first

  • Amp, installed.
  • Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_JAPAN_INTELLIGENCE_API_URL,YOUR_JI_API_KEY.

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": {
    "transcode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "[email protected]"],
      "env": { "JAPAN_INTELLIGENCE_API_URL": "YOUR_JAPAN_INTELLIGENCE_API_URL", "JI_API_KEY": "YOUR_JI_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace YOUR_JAPAN_INTELLIGENCE_API_URL,YOUR_JI_API_KEY with your own values.
  2. Save the file and restart Amp.

Check it worked

Ask Amp: List the tools of transcode.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT
Node.js is not on the PATH that Amp sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in 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.
