OpenAI Codex is OpenAI’s CLI agent for software development. You can connect it to TryPost’s MCP server to manage your social media scheduling with natural language.

​
Prerequisites

  • Codex CLI installed (npm install -g @openai/codex)
  • A TryPost API key

​
Setup

1

Set your API key as an environment variable

Add your TryPost API key to your shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, etc.):
export TRYPOST_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key from the TryPost dashboard.
2

Open the configuration file

Edit ~/.codex/config.toml and add the TryPost server:
[mcp_servers.trypost]
url = "https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost"
bearer_token_env_var = "TRYPOST_API_KEY"
3

Restart Codex

Close and reopen Codex to load the new configuration.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Codex to interact with your TryPost account:
List all my TryPost posts
Codex uses TOML for configuration (not JSON). It provides bearer_token_env_var to securely reference API keys from environment variables instead of hardcoding them in the config file.
