Install Namecheap Api in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_NAMECHEAP_API_USER,YOUR_NAMECHEAP_API_KEY,YOUR_NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP.

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 namecheap-api-mcp --env NAMECHEAP_API_USER=YOUR_NAMECHEAP_API_USER --env NAMECHEAP_API_KEY=YOUR_NAMECHEAP_API_KEY --env NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP=YOUR_NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP -- npx -y [email protected]

2. Replace YOUR_NAMECHEAP_API_USER,YOUR_NAMECHEAP_API_KEY,YOUR_NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP with your own values.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of namecheap-api-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT

Node.js is not on the PATH that Codex 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.
