Connect OpenAI Codex CLI to Agent Authority

When you finish, every MCP tool call Codex CLI makes is checked against your policies and recorded in the audit log. OpenAI's Codex CLI reaches your approved tools through one SecureAuth Agent Authority gateway URL, and each developer signs in as themselves.

SetupCopy Anchor Link

1. Add the MCP server. Add the following to ~/.codex/config.toml:

   Copy Text

   [mcp_servers.secureauth]
   url = "https://your-gateway-url/gateway/mcp"

2. Authenticate.

   Copy Text

   codex mcp login secureauth

3. Start Codex.

   Copy Text

   codex

   The agent is auto-registered on first connect.

Connecting to just one MCP? To stay under an agent's tool limit, point the URL at a single MCP — /gateway/mcp/{slug} instead of /gateway/mcp. Grab the exact URL from the resource's detail page; see Scope a connection.
