Install Bamboo MCP Server in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_BAMBOO_URL,YOUR_BAMBOO_TOKEN,YOUR_MCP_TRANSPORT.

Steps

1. 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 bamboo-mcp --env BAMBOO_URL=YOUR_BAMBOO_URL --env BAMBOO_TOKEN=YOUR_BAMBOO_TOKEN --env MCP_TRANSPORT=YOUR_MCP_TRANSPORT -- docker run -i --rm -e BAMBOO_URL -e BAMBOO_TOKEN -e MCP_TRANSPORT ghcr.io/hmdmph/bamboo-mcp:0.1.2

2. Replace YOUR_BAMBOO_URL,YOUR_BAMBOO_TOKEN,YOUR_MCP_TRANSPORT with your own values.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of bamboo-mcp.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Codex.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
