Scopes, env vars, OAuth and limits: Codex MCP config guide

Run codex mcp login <name> to complete OAuth for a remote server. InfluxDB 3 runs locally and needs INFLUX_DB_PRODUCT_TYPE. Replace the placeholder values above with your own before starting Codex.

Ask Codex for something InfluxDB 3 can do. Query, write and manage InfluxDB 3 Core, Enterprise, Cloud Serverless, Cloud Dedicated and Clustered databases with SQL or InfluxQL. 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.
