# Codex

Connect Codex to Namera with a local MCP server.

Install [Namera](https://namera.ai/docs/mcp/installation) and complete
[account setup](https://namera.ai/docs/mcp/getting-started#prepare-your-account) on the machine
that will run the client. Make sure its process can find both `namera` and Node.js.

## Add Namera [#add-namera]

With Codex CLI installed, register the server:

```sh
codex mcp add namera -- namera mcp serve --profile codex
```

Alternatively, add this to `~/.codex/config.toml`. Use one method, not both:

```toml
[mcp_servers.namera]
command = "namera"
args = ["mcp", "serve", "--profile", "codex"]
```

Codex uses this configuration for its local clients. In the IDE extension, you
can also add a **STDIO** server through **MCP servers** in the gear menu. See the
[official Codex MCP setup](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp).

## Authorize [#authorize]

```sh
namera mcp login --profile codex
namera mcp status --profile codex
```

Approve the connection in your browser and select the active session keys it may
use. Run these commands as the same OS user that runs the client. Namera saves
the connection in your OS keyring; no API key belongs in the client config.

Use Namera's login command, not `codex mcp login namera`: this local server owns
its browser authorization flow.

## Use Namera [#use-namera]

Start a new Codex session. Run `/mcp` in the CLI to inspect active servers, or
`codex mcp list` from your terminal to check the saved registration.

Ask in a new conversation:

> Use Namera to list my accounts and session keys. Summarize their networks and
> permissions. Do not submit a transaction or sign a message.

Allow the read tools if prompted. If Namera requests browser authorization,
complete it and retry the read request. An empty result means no resources were
returned for this connection; do not ask the agent to invent account details.

Keep tool confirmations enabled for execution and signing where supported. See
[Permissions and Limits](https://namera.ai/docs/mcp/permissions) before granting broader access.

## Disconnect [#disconnect]

```sh
namera mcp logout --profile codex
```

Also remove or disable the `namera` server in the client to stop it launching.
Logout revokes the MCP connection without deleting imported keys. If revocation
fails, revoke the connection in the dashboard as instructed by the error.
