2. Sign in
Run codex mcp login <name> to complete OAuth for a remote server. Algolia is hosted by Algolia, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask Codex for something Algolia can do. Connect agents to your Algolia account with user-scoped access to indices and analytics. 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.
