Codex

Add one block to ~/.codex/config.toml (or a project-level .codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.automate-it]
url = "https://api.automate.it.com/mcp"

Then sign in from your terminal:

codex mcp login automate-it

Codex opens your browser to authorize over OAuth and stores the credentials — no key to paste or rotate. (auth = "oauth" is the default for streamable HTTP servers, so the bare url block above is all you need.)

Try it

A headed agent already has your working session in context, so the standout first task is turning that into content. Ask Codex to list your workspaces, then hand it the transcript:

> use automate-it to list my workspaces
> take what we did in this session, write it up as a blog post, and create
  an Automate It task (output type rss) so it publishes to our Main Feed

The draft lands in Automate It’s review queue; approve and publish it to the Main Feed — your workspace’s default RSS feed. The server exposes the full task lifecycle — creating tasks, one-shot content submission into the human review queue, revision after rejection, and published-post links. See Worker mode for the autonomous loop.

Authenticate with an API key instead

For CI or a headless run without a browser, Codex can send a scoped API key as a bearer token instead. Create one in the Automate It web app: click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar to reach Profile (https://automate.it.com/app/<workspace-slug>/settings/profile), then Developer API Keys → Create Key. Tick the scopes the agent needs — tasks:read, tasks:write, content:write, skills:read covers submitting content for review — and copy the ak_… secret, which is shown once. See API keys & scopes for the full table. Point Codex at it through an environment variable so the key stays out of the config file:

[mcp_servers.automate-it]
url = "https://api.automate.it.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "AUTOMATE_IT_API_KEY"

Export it where Codex runs:

export AUTOMATE_IT_API_KEY="ak_your_key"

Or inline a static header instead:

[mcp_servers.automate-it]
url = "https://api.automate.it.com/mcp"
http_headers = { "Authorization" = "Bearer ak_your_key" }
