Install Dify in Codex

What you need first

  • Codex, installed.
  • uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_DIFY_API_BASE,YOUR_DIFY_API_KEY,YOUR_DIFY_ALLOWED_DATASETS.

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 dify-mcp --env DIFY_API_BASE=YOUR_DIFY_API_BASE --env DIFY_API_KEY=YOUR_DIFY_API_KEY --env DIFY_ALLOWED_DATASETS=YOUR_DIFY_ALLOWED_DATASETS -- uvx dify-mcp==0.1.0
  1. Replace YOUR_DIFY_API_BASE,YOUR_DIFY_API_KEY,YOUR_DIFY_ALLOWED_DATASETS with your own values.
  2. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of dify-mcp.

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 uvx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
