Install ConnectWise PSA in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_CW_SITE,YOUR_CW_COMPANY_ID,YOUR_CW_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_CW_PUBLIC_KEY,YOUR_CW_PRIVATE_KEY.

Steps

1. 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 mcp-connectwise-psa --env CW_SITE=YOUR_CW_SITE --env CW_COMPANY_ID=YOUR_CW_COMPANY_ID --env CW_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CW_CLIENT_ID --env CW_PUBLIC_KEY=YOUR_CW_PUBLIC_KEY --env CW_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_CW_PRIVATE_KEY -- npx -y [email protected]

2. Replace YOUR_CW_SITE,YOUR_CW_COMPANY_ID,YOUR_CW_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_CW_PUBLIC_KEY,YOUR_CW_PRIVATE_KEY with your own values.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of mcp-connectwise-psa.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT

Node.js is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in the config.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
