Add the server
codex mcp add focuspilot --url https://focuspilot.online/api/mcp
Sign in
codex mcp login focuspilot

Use a token instead

Codex can send an MCP token from an environment variable. Give Codex the variable's name, not the token itself.

Terminal
export FOCUSPILOT_TOKEN=fpm_YOUR_TOKEN
codex mcp add focuspilot --url https://focuspilot.online/api/mcp --bearer-token-env-var FOCUSPILOT_TOKEN
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.focuspilot]
url = "https://focuspilot.online/api/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "FOCUSPILOT_TOKEN"
