Connect Codex

Updated 2026-10-18

The Codex CLI and the IDE extension read the same config.toml. Use --url for hosted, npx for local.

Steps

  1. Run one of the commands. Codex writes the configuration to ~/.codex/config.toml.
  2. To edit by hand, add a [mcp_servers.dyslexiasteps] table to that file. For a per-project setup, put the table in .codex/config.toml at the root of a trusted project.
  3. Restart Codex and try the check prompt below.

Configuration

Hosted (recommended)
codex mcp add dyslexiasteps --url https://mcp.dyslexiasteps.com/mcp
Local (npx)
codex mcp add dyslexiasteps -- npx -y dyslexiasteps-mcp
config.toml (hosted)
[mcp_servers.dyslexiasteps]
url = "https://mcp.dyslexiasteps.com/mcp"
config.toml (local)
[mcp_servers.dyslexiasteps]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "dyslexiasteps-mcp"]

Check it works

Ask: “Using Dyslexia Steps, how many English word lists cover kindergarten?” The answer should be 23.
