Install Rocketchat in mcp-client-cli

What you need first

• mcp-client-cli, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_SERVER_URL,YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_USER_ID,YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_AUTH_TOKEN.

Steps

1. Open ~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file.
2. Add this table at the end of the file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rocketchat-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["rocketchat-mcp==0.1.0"],
      "env": { "ROCKETCHAT_SERVER_URL": "YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_SERVER_URL", "ROCKETCHAT_USER_ID": "YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_USER_ID", "ROCKETCHAT_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_AUTH_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

3. Replace YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_SERVER_URL,YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_USER_ID,YOUR_ROCKETCHAT_AUTH_TOKEN with your own values.
4. Save the file and restart mcp-client-cli.

Check it worked

Ask mcp-client-cli: List the tools of rocketchat-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT

uv is not on the PATH that mcp-client-cli 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.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
