Local MCP

Codex CLI

Connect the Paradex MCP server to Codex CLI in a few steps.

If you haven’t installed the OpenAI Codex CLI yet, run npm install -g @openai/codex or see Codex CLI on GitHub.

1

Complete prerequisites

Follow the Prerequisites guide to install Python, uvx, and get your Paradex private key.

2

Add the Paradex MCP server

$codex mcp add paradex -- uvx mcp-paradex

The config is shared between the Codex CLI and the Codex VS Code extension — configure once and both clients pick it up.

3

Verify it’s working

Ask your AI assistant:

“What markets are available on Paradex?”

If you get a list of trading pairs, you’re connected.

To test trading access, ask:

“Show me my Paradex account summary.”
