2. Sign in
Run codex mcp login <name> to complete OAuth for a remote server. Aiven runs locally and needs AIVEN_TOKEN. Replace the placeholder values above with your own before starting Codex.
3. Try it
Ask Codex for something Aiven can do. Provision and manage Aiven PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka and application services, run SQL and inspect metrics and logs from an agent. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.
- · Each server is a [mcp_servers.<name>] table in config.toml.
- · Use enabled_tools or disabled_tools to keep the tool list short.
