What you need first

YOUR_GERRIT_URL,YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME,YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN.
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 go-gerrit-mcp --env GERRIT_URL=YOUR_GERRIT_URL --env GERRIT_USERNAME=YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME --env GERRIT_TOKEN=YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN -- docker run -i --rm -e GERRIT_URL -e GERRIT_USERNAME -e GERRIT_TOKEN ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3 - Replace
YOUR_GERRIT_URL,YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME,YOUR_GERRIT_TOKENwith your own values. - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
