Connect Vibe Seller to Codex

Once it's connected, you can ask Codex to create Vibe Seller tasks, follow their progress and answer their questions.

Two things to get ready first:

1. An API key — see First: create an API key. Right after you create it, the dialog shows your server address and a ready-made Codex config;
2. Codex itself, installed from chatgpt.com/codex.

Connect

In the appCommand line / config file

1. Click the gear in the bottom-left corner and choose Settings.

   

   

2. In the left column of Settings pick Plugins, then click Add → Add MCP server at the top right.

   

   

3. Fill in the form as below. Every value to copy is in the dialog's In the app tab — click Copy next to it and paste, no typing.

   Field in the Codex form	What to enter	Example (fake)
   Name	the dialog's Name	vibe-seller
   Type	choose Streamable HTTP	—
   URL	the dialog's URL	http://192.168.1.10:7777/api/mcp
   Headers · key (left)	the dialog's Header name	Authorization
   Headers · value (right)	the dialog's Header value	Bearer vst_AbC123xYz
   Bearer token env var, Headers from environment variables	leave empty	—

   

4. Save. The list now shows vibe-seller with its switch on, and it takes effect immediately.

   

The file is ~/.codex/config.toml — on Windows C:\Users\<your-username>\.codex\config.toml. You can also open it from Settings → Configuration → Open config.toml.

Paste the block from the dialog's Command line / config file tab at the very end of the file, save, then quit Codex completely and reopen it. The block looks like this:

[mcp_servers.vibe-seller]
# Connects to this machine; if Vibe Seller runs elsewhere, use its address instead of localhost
url = "http://localhost:7777/api/mcp"
http_headers = { "Authorization" = "Bearer vst_…" }

Don't paste the block twice

Two [mcp_servers.vibe-seller] sections invalidate the whole config.toml.

Check it works

Start a new chat and ask how many stores are in vibe-seller right now?. If it calls the tool and names your stores, you're connected.

Change or remove

To change the address or swap the key, click the gear on the vibe-seller row under Settings → Plugins and edit the URL or the headers on that page. Uninstall removes the server — there's no confirmation step.
