Install Outlook Mailbox Tidier in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own value for
YOUR_OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID.
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 outlook-mcp --env OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID -- docker run -i --rm -e OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID ghcr.io/ma2no4413/outlook-mcp:0.2.7 - Replace
YOUR_OUTLOOK_CLIENT_IDwith your own value. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of outlook-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.
