Codex

Codex connects to MarcoPolo through MCP. One command to set up, then you're querying data from the command line.

Setup

Add the MarcoPolo MCP server to your Codex configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marcopolo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.marcopolo.dev"
    }
  }
}

Add this to your Codex MCP settings file. This registers MarcoPolo so it's available in your Codex sessions.

Plugin alternative

The MCP server gives Codex access to MarcoPolo's tools. The MarcoPolo plugin for Codex goes further — it adds skills that teach Codex proven data workflows so it writes better queries and uses the right tools consistently. The plugin includes the MCP connection, so you don't need both.

What's next

Once MarcoPolo is registered, follow the Getting Started guide to authenticate, connect a data source, and run your first query.

Tips for Codex

Investigation workflows. Codex's terminal-native interface is ideal for triage. "The orders API has been slow since yesterday, help me figure out why." The kind of question where you need to check logs, query databases, and trace through systems without switching tools.

Pipe results locally. Codex can pull data from MarcoPolo and then work with it on your machine: write it to a file, pipe it into a script, or feed it into another tool.
