Install Bring Photo in Codex

What you need first

• Codex, installed.
• Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_BRING_ENV,YOUR_BRING_EMAIL,YOUR_BRING_PASSWORD,YOUR_BRING_DEFAULT_LIST,YOUR_BRING_ALLOWED_LISTS.

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 bring-photo-mcp --env BRING_ENV=YOUR_BRING_ENV --env BRING_EMAIL=YOUR_BRING_EMAIL --env BRING_PASSWORD=YOUR_BRING_PASSWORD --env BRING_DEFAULT_LIST=YOUR_BRING_DEFAULT_LIST --env BRING_ALLOWED_LISTS=YOUR_BRING_ALLOWED_LISTS -- npx -y [email protected]

2. Replace YOUR_BRING_ENV,YOUR_BRING_EMAIL,YOUR_BRING_PASSWORD,YOUR_BRING_DEFAULT_LIST,YOUR_BRING_ALLOWED_LISTS with your own values.
3. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of bring-photo-mcp.

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.
