Install Lineai in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_LINEAI_SERVER_HOST,YOUR_LINEAI_USERNAME,YOUR_LINEAI_PASSWORD,YOUR_LINEAI_WORKSPACE_NAME.
Steps
- 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 - Replace
YOUR_LINEAI_SERVER_HOST,YOUR_LINEAI_USERNAME,YOUR_LINEAI_PASSWORD,YOUR_LINEAI_WORKSPACE_NAMEwith your own values. - 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
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
