Connect Granova to Codex
Updated 2026-08-12
Codex CLI connects to remote MCP servers directly, no bridge needed. Add the server, then log in in the browser. Codex needs a desktop terminal.
Connect
- Go to /connect and choose Codex.
- Copy the commands. First
codex mcp add granova --url https://api.granova.ai/mcpwrites a[mcp_servers.granova]block to~/.codex/config.toml. Thencodex mcp login granovaopens Granova in your browser (Google preferred, or a website magic link — not a 6-digit connector code). - Back in the terminal, start Codex and ask: what experts are on Granova?
Advanced: Bearer key
Only if you prefer a static key instead of OAuth. Add this block to ~/.codex/config.toml and export the key shown once on /setup:
[mcp_servers.granova]
url = "https://api.granova.ai/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "GRANOVA_API_KEY"Codex reads the token from the named env var at launch, so export it before starting Codex. Prefer codex mcp login when you can.
Don't have Codex?
Install it from github.com/openai/codex. Then run the connect command from /connect.
If tools don't appear
Confirm the env var is exported in the same shell session that launched Codex. See Troubleshooting for more.
