Install kasm-use in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_KASM_API_URL,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY_SECRET,YOUR_KASM_USER_ID.
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 kasm-use --env KASM_API_URL=YOUR_KASM_API_URL --env KASM_API_KEY=YOUR_KASM_API_KEY --env KASM_API_KEY_SECRET=YOUR_KASM_API_KEY_SECRET --env KASM_USER_ID=YOUR_KASM_USER_ID -- uvx kasm-use==0.4.0 - Replace
YOUR_KASM_API_URL,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY_SECRET,YOUR_KASM_USER_IDwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of kasm-use.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
