Connect · Codex
Give Codex a memory.
Everything you decide in Codex is remembered, and every other tool you use knows it next time. One command, nothing to configure by hand.
01 · What you get
“Supported” means three things. Here's each one for Codex.
Session parser plus a file watcher. The desktop app shares ~/.codex/, so it is captured too.
AGENTS.md, loaded by the CLI and the desktop app.
MCP server registered in ~/.codex/config.toml.
02 · Install
One command wires Codex and every other tool on your machine.
- Run the installer. It creates your private data repo on GitHub, generates your key into the Keychain, and asks whether to start with your past AI sessions or fresh.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rohithhn/Open-Agentic-Brain-and-Memory/main/install.sh | bashmacOS or LinuxNode 22+gitA GitHub account - It wires Codex. The installer reads your existing Codex history, starts a watcher for new sessions, writes the briefing into
AGENTS.mdand registers the MCP server for both the CLI and the desktop app. - Check it. Start Codex in any repo and ask “What do you remember about this project?” It answers from the briefing, and can search the brain for anything older. For a full read-only check of every tool, run
brain doctor.
03 · Questions
Connecting Codex
Do I need an account or an API key?
No. There's no account and no server of ours. The memory lives in a SQLite file on your machine, and travels as one age-encrypted file to a private GitHub repo you own.
Will it overwrite my instructions file?
No. The briefing lives inside its own BRAIN:START/END markers, and MCP wiring is additive: it never touches entries it didn't create.
Does Codex see what I did in other tools?
Yes. There's one store for every tool on the machine, and your other machines get it through brain sync and brain restore.
What platforms work?
macOS and Linux, with Node 22+, git and a GitHub account. Windows isn't supported yet.
