What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_JMAP_SESSION_URL,YOUR_JMAP_AUTH_TOKEN.
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 jmap-mcp --env JMAP_SESSION_URL=YOUR_JMAP_SESSION_URL --env JMAP_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_JMAP_AUTH_TOKEN -- docker run -i --rm -e JMAP_SESSION_URL -e JMAP_AUTH_TOKEN ghcr.io/mikluko/jmap-mcp:0.10.0 - Replace
YOUR_JMAP_SESSION_URL,YOUR_JMAP_AUTH_TOKENwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
