Install Lineai in Codex

What you need first

  • Codex, installed.
  • uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_LINEAI_SERVER_HOST,YOUR_LINEAI_USERNAME,YOUR_LINEAI_PASSWORD,YOUR_LINEAI_WORKSPACE_NAME.

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 lineai-mcp-server --env LINEAI_SERVER_HOST=YOUR_LINEAI_SERVER_HOST --env LINEAI_USERNAME=YOUR_LINEAI_USERNAME --env LINEAI_PASSWORD=YOUR_LINEAI_PASSWORD --env LINEAI_WORKSPACE_NAME=YOUR_LINEAI_WORKSPACE_NAME -- uvx lineai-mcp-server==1.4.0
  1. Replace YOUR_LINEAI_SERVER_HOST,YOUR_LINEAI_USERNAME,YOUR_LINEAI_PASSWORD,YOUR_LINEAI_WORKSPACE_NAME with your own values.
  2. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of lineai-mcp-server.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT
uv is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
