Add the Typeform MCP server to Codex
Run these once. Afterwards, everyone you give access to signs in the same way.

In your Metorial portal, enable the Typeform 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 Typeform tools.
Give your team Typeform in Codex
Once Typeform 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.

Using Typeform tools in Codex
What to expect once Typeform is connected.
- Limit which Typeform tools Codex sees with enabled_tools and disabled_tools on the metorial server in config.toml.
- Set default_tools_approval_mode to auto, prompt, writes or approve. writes prompts only for tools that are not marked read-only.
- Type /mcp in the composer to see the connected servers.
- Override the approval behavior for a single Typeform tool with tools.<tool>.approval_mode.
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.
