Codex

Four lines of config.toml, one login, and Codex reads your priorities.

Connect → Authenticate → Ask

01Add the server to config.toml

In ~/.codex/config.toml add:

[mcp_servers.annsa]
url = "https://app.annsa.ai/mcp"
auth = "oauth"

Then run:

codex mcp login annsa

02Authenticate

The first use opens a browser on Annsa's consent screen — approve once and the six tools appear. There is no API key to paste and no token file to manage; access is your Annsa login, scoped to your workspace.

03The six tools

ToolWhat it does
annsa.prioritiesRanked priorities with scores, volume, trend and shipping-history flags
annsa.specFull spec for any priority, plus related context from past ships
annsa.actBuild, ship, share, assign, correct, park, submit feedback or a transcript
annsa.askSearch feedback, priorities, specs and help articles
annsa.surveysHow your in-product surveys are performing — each one with its instrument and results
annsa.helpHow Annsa itself works — product and how-to questions

04Three things to ask first

"What are my top priorities?" · "Pull the spec for the export bug and implement it" · "Mark priority #2 shipped"

05Re-authenticating

Run codex mcp login annsa again — the browser reopens Annsa's consent screen.

06When it doesn't connect

Server not listed: check the [mcp_servers.annsa] table name is exact and the file is ~/.codex/config.toml.

Auth loop: confirm auth = "oauth" is present — without it Codex expects a static key that doesn't exist.

"No priorities": import some feedback first.

07How do I add an MCP server to Codex?

Add a [mcp_servers.<name>] table to ~/.codex/config.toml with the server's url, set auth = "oauth" for OAuth servers, then run codex mcp login <name>. Codex opens a browser for consent and the server's tools appear in the session.

08Does Codex support OAuth MCP servers?

Yes — set auth = "oauth" on the server entry in config.toml and authenticate with codex mcp login <name>. The token is managed by Codex; there is no key to paste into the config file.
