Official serverLocalDeveloper tools

1. Add the server

Run in your terminal

# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.azure]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@azure/mcp", "server", "start"]

2. Sign in

Run codex mcp login <name> to complete OAuth for a remote server. Azure runs locally; set any credentials Microsoft asks for before starting Codex.

3. Try it

Ask Codex for something Azure can do. Manage Azure resources (storage, Cosmos DB, monitor, Key Vault and more) 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.
