In your Metorial portal, enable the Fireflies 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 metorial3. Check the connection
Type /mcp in Codex to see Metorial and its Fireflies tools.
Give your team Fireflies in Codex
Once Fireflies is enabled in Metorial, teammates sign in with SSO and get the same connection in Codex, with only the tools their role allows.
One link covers every app you approve. See how the MCP gateway handles access, roles and audit logs for the whole company.

Troubleshooting Codex
- Metorial is listed but tools are missing
- Codex can connect without credentials and then see nothing. Run codex mcp login metorial to complete the OAuth sign-in.
- Metorial times out at startup
- Codex waits 10 seconds by default. Raise startup_timeout_sec under [mcp_servers.metorial] in ~/.codex/config.toml.
- Long tool calls fail after a minute
- The default tool timeout is 60 seconds. Raise tool_timeout_sec for the metorial server in config.toml.
Based on the Codex MCP documentation.
