Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `ask-codex` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js** — Node.js v20.0.0 or higher is required to run the MCP server via npx. (https://nodejs.org/)
- **Install and authenticate Codex CLI** — The Ask Codex MCP server depends on the OpenAI Codex CLI being installed and authenticated on your system. (https://github.com/openai/codex)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["-y","ask-codex-mcp"]

Note: This server is the Codex-specific MCP package from the Ask LLM project. The README does not specify any MCP config environment variables for this server; it relies on the separately installed/authenticated Codex CLI available on PATH.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
