Connect Codex CLI, IDE, and App to Entalpa
Use the Entalpa Codex plugin to install MCP plus all skills together, or use Codex's native MCP command and npx skills when you want separate setup.
before you start
Codex CLI, IDE, and App will ask you to log in
The MCP server serves your own projects, so it authenticates you: the first connection opens a browser and asks for your Entalpa account. Register first, otherwise that prompt has nothing to accept. Registration is free, no card, and MCP calls never spend credits.
Create a free account- Codex CLI installed and signed in.
- Browser access for OAuth login.
