Connect Codex to Busabase
OpenAI's terminal coding agent, with a built-in MCP client and an /mcp panel.
Paste this into Codex
Read https://busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md and set up Busabase for me. Follow it through to the end, then confirm the connection works.

Give your agent this one instruction
You end up with more than a connector: the busabase skill carries the whole approval-first workflow, the CLI, and the full API — available in every future session without re-pasting anything.
Asks first
Busabase Cloud or Personal Desktop — your call, before anything happens.
Connects
Signs you in and stores the credential itself. No API key to copy by hand.
Seeds a Base
Creates and fills your first Base, so the workspace is not an empty screen.
Installs the skills
busabase and busabase-app-creator become permanent, for every session after this.
Prefer a connector?
If you would rather wire Busabase in as MCP tools than let the agent install a skill, use the server URL below.

codex mcp add busabase --url https://busabase.com/api/mcp
codex mcp login busabase --scopes mcpAdd the server, start OAuth explicitly if needed, then inspect the connection:
codex mcp add busabase --url https://busabase.com/api/mcp
codex mcp login busabase --scopes mcp
codex mcp list
Inside Codex, use /mcp to confirm that Busabase is connected and its tools are enabled. Then ask it to call auth_verify.
To change the Busabase account or consent grant:
codex mcp logout busabase
codex mcp login busabase --scopes mcp
Remove the configuration entirely with codex mcp remove busabase.
Known gotchas
Switching the Busabase account or grant needs `codex mcp logout busabase` before logging in again.
Written from this agent's own documentation. We have not re-run every step on a real machine, so check the linked docs if a command has changed.
Let your agent do the setup
One instruction, reviewed access, and every change it makes afterwards arrives as a proposal you approve.
