What is Codex CLI?
Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent for the terminal. It reads your repo, runs commands and calls MCP servers. With MagicSlides added, it can summarise a changelog, a dataset or a transcript straight into slides.
FAQ
How do I add MagicSlides to Codex?
Run codex mcp add magicslides --url https://www.magicslides.app/api/mcp/mcp, then codex mcp login magicslides to log in.
Do I need a feature flag for remote MCP servers?
No. Current Codex versions support streamable HTTP servers with OAuth out of the box.
Can I use it in codex exec?
Yes. After you log in once, codex exec "make a 6-slide deck from CHANGELOG.md" can call MagicSlides without prompts.
Does it work in the Codex IDE extension?
The IDE extension reads the same ~/.codex/config.toml, so a server you add in the CLI shows up there too.
