Does Codex support the Confluence MCP server?

Yes. Codex connects to the Confluence MCP server through one CLI command, pointed at your Metorial URL. You need the Codex CLI, IDE extension or ChatGPT desktop app.

Do I need an API key to connect Confluence to Codex?

No. You sign in to Confluence once through Metorial, and Codex uses that connection. No API keys go into Codex's settings.

Which Confluence tools can Codex use?

All 33 Confluence tools your team allows, such as Get Current User, Get Page, Delete Blog Post. Admins can narrow that list per team.

Can I control which teammates use Confluence in Codex?

Yes. Role-based access control decides who can use Confluence and which of its tools appear in Codex, and every call is logged with the person's identity.

What if Codex doesn't show Confluence tools?

Codex can connect without credentials and then see nothing. Run codex mcp login metorial to complete the OAuth sign-in.

1. Enable Confluence in Metorial
In your Metorial portal, enable the Confluence MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
2. Add the server and sign in
The Codex CLI, IDE extension and ChatGPT desktop app share this config.
```
codex mcp add metorial --url <your-magic-mcp-url>
codex mcp login metorial
```
3. Check the connection
Type /mcp in Codex to see Metorial and its Confluence tools.

Once Confluence is enabled in Metorial, teammates sign in with SSO and get the same connection in Codex, with only the tools their role allows.

Metorial times out at startup: Codex waits 10 seconds by default. Raise startup_timeout_sec under [mcp_servers.metorial] in ~/.codex/config.toml.
