OpenAI Codex CLI

Codex talks to stdio servers; use the bridge from the GitHub repo:

codex mcp add spook -- npx -y github:VictorKildahl/spook-mcp

Any stdio-only client

The open-source bridge forwards stdio JSON-RPC to the hosted endpoint. Set SPOOK_AGENT_KEY to unlock account tools.

npx -y github:VictorKildahl/spook-mcp

github.com/VictorKildahl/spook-mcp

Agent API keys

Account tools are marked (requires an agent API key) in the tool list. Generate a key in Settings → Agent API, then send it as a bearer token (HTTP) or set SPOOK_AGENT_KEY (stdio bridge).
