Install Django Chainsaw in Agenvoy
What you need first
- Agenvoy, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_DJANGO_CHAINSAW_PROJECT_PATH,YOUR_DJANGO_CHAINSAW_SETTINGS_MODULE.
Steps
- Open
~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file. - Add this table at the end of the file.
{
"servers": {
"django-chainsaw-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["django-chainsaw-mcp==0.1.5"],
"env": { "DJANGO_CHAINSAW_PROJECT_PATH": "YOUR_DJANGO_CHAINSAW_PROJECT_PATH", "DJANGO_CHAINSAW_SETTINGS_MODULE": "YOUR_DJANGO_CHAINSAW_SETTINGS_MODULE" }
}
}
} - Replace
YOUR_DJANGO_CHAINSAW_PROJECT_PATH,YOUR_DJANGO_CHAINSAW_SETTINGS_MODULEwith your own values. - Save the file and restart Agenvoy.
Check it worked
Ask Agenvoy: List the tools of django-chainsaw-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Agenvoy 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. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
