Install Légifrance (unofficial) in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_LF_PISTE_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_LF_PISTE_CLIENT_SECRET.
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 mcp-legifrance --env LF_PISTE_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_LF_PISTE_CLIENT_ID --env LF_PISTE_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_LF_PISTE_CLIENT_SECRET -- docker run -i --rm -e LF_PISTE_CLIENT_ID -e LF_PISTE_CLIENT_SECRET ghcr.io/muchiny/mcp-legifrance:1.1.0 - Replace
YOUR_LF_PISTE_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_LF_PISTE_CLIENT_SECRETwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.

If it does not start
- Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
- Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Codex.

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