Doable for Codex
Deploy from OpenAI Codex with one command
Codex's CLI loads MCP tools from your project's .mcp.json. Drop Doable in via `npx doable-cli setup`, then say "deploy this" or run /deploy, Codex calls Doable's MCP tools to bundle, build, and ship your project.
Setup in two steps
1. Install (one-time, in your project directory)
npx -y doable-cli setup --codex
2. Deploy (in Codex)
Type /deploy or use natural language:
- •"deploy this"
- •"ship the changes"
- •"put this live"
- •"push to prod"
Doable's MCP tool descriptions lead with these trigger phrases so Codex routes intent to /deploy without command-style invocation.
Why Doable + Codex
Same .mcp.json as Claude Code
Codex and Claude Code share the project-level MCP config format. One setup command configures both; switching between editors mid-session keeps Doable available either way.
CLI-friendly, automation-friendly
Codex runs in a terminal, Doable's structured tool responses parse cleanly into Codex's reasoning, and the deploy URL pops out as a JSON field your shell scripts can grab.
Native auth flow
doable.login opens a browser device-code flow from inside Codex. After you approve once, every project on this machine deploys without re-auth.
No special config
No .codex.toml tweaks, no environment variables, no flags. Codex sees the Doable MCP tools the same way it sees its built-in tools.
FAQ
Does this work with Codex's local CLI and the cloud-hosted variant?
The local CLI loads MCP tools from .mcp.json, Doable works there. The cloud-hosted Codex variant has its own MCP loading; if it loads project-level .mcp.json, Doable works there too. We test against the local CLI primarily.
Is OpenAI Codex the same as the GitHub Copilot CLI?
No, different tools. Doable's MCP works with Codex (the OpenAI Agentic CLI). For Copilot you'd use the Doable CLI directly via `doable deploy`.
Can I configure Doable globally for every Codex project?
Codex MCP config is project-level by design. Run `npx doable-cli setup` once per project, or once in a parent directory if your projects share a common root.
