OpenAI Codex

Connect Codex to Cua Driver over MCP.

Codex supports local MCP servers in the CLI, IDE extension, and desktop app. Generate the command with the installed Cua Driver version:

cua-driver mcp-config --client codex

The generated command uses the absolute executable path. Its shape is:

codex mcp add cua-driver -- /absolute/path/to/cua-driver mcp
codex mcp list

Open a fresh Codex session after registration. You can also install the Cua Driver agent skill for action-selection guidance:

cua-driver skills install
cua-driver skills status

Cua Driver 0.28.0 serves the same release-matched skill through its stdio MCP endpoint. As of Codex 0.154.0, it can list and read those resources in a fresh session. Install the filesystem skill for older Codex versions or when you want an explicit local skill entry.

Codex applies its own approval policy to MCP calls. Registration and remote skill discovery do not approve mutating actions; allow the requested Driver action in Codex when prompted or configure an appropriate Codex policy for the test environment.

Continue with Connect your agent to Cua Driver and Install the Cua Driver agent skill.

Then try a complete workflow: build a map, review a PDF, or prepare an exhibition panel. Each recipe includes fictional starter files, output checks, and an edited macOS recording made with GPT-6 Astra + Cua Driver. These runs include foreground/desktop input.
