Install Sqlite in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_DB_PATH,YOUR_DB_PASSPHRASE.

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-sqlite --env DB_PATH=YOUR_DB_PATH --env DB_PASSPHRASE=YOUR_DB_PASSPHRASE -- docker run -i --rm -e DB_PATH -e DB_PASSPHRASE ghcr.io/rosch100/mcp-sqlite:0.2.4

2. Replace YOUR_DB_PATH,YOUR_DB_PASSPHRASE 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-sqlite.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Codex.

The server starts, but its tools fail

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