Install Monie Tools: screenshots, PDF/OCR, PageSpeed & email for agents in Bob Shell

What you need first

  • Bob Shell, installed.
  • Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Bob Shell connects to it.

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": {
    "monie-tools": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=poised_beardlichen/website-screenshot-pdf,poised_beardlichen/pdf-to-text-markdown-ocr,poised_beardlichen/image-to-text-ocr,poised_beardlichen/pagespeed-lighthouse-checker,poised_beardlichen/email-verifier-bulk"
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Bob Shell.

Check it worked

Ask Bob Shell: List the tools of monie-tools.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized
The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Bob Shell asks.
Nothing changes after a restart
The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
