Codex Setup
Recommended path
Section titled “Recommended path”engram setup codexThe setup writes three things:
- MCP server config in
~/.codex/config.toml - model instructions with the Memory Protocol
- a compaction prompt file so memory-save instructions survive summarization
Manual path
Section titled “Manual path”Use an mcp_servers.engram block in your Codex config and point Codex to the Engram instruction files if you manage config yourself.
Why this matters
Section titled “Why this matters”Codex can use MCP without extra ceremony, but the protocol and compact prompt are what keep continuity strong between sessions.
