Install Gerrit Code Review in oterm

What you need first

• oterm, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_GERRIT_URL,YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME,YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN.

Steps

1. Open ~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file.
2. Add this table at the end of the file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "go-gerrit-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GERRIT_URL", "-e", "GERRIT_USERNAME", "-e", "GERRIT_TOKEN", "ghcr.io/gaijinentertainment/go-gerrit-mcp:1.1.3"],
      "env": { "GERRIT_URL": "YOUR_GERRIT_URL", "GERRIT_USERNAME": "YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME", "GERRIT_TOKEN": "YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

3. Replace YOUR_GERRIT_URL,YOUR_GERRIT_USERNAME,YOUR_GERRIT_TOKEN with your own values.
4. Save the file and restart oterm.

Check it worked

Ask oterm: List the tools of go-gerrit-mcp.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

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

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.
