Keep context available to the next Codex session.
Project history can outlast a coding session. Connect Codex CLI to Memrain so notes, decisions and relevant code context remain available through the same memory used by your other supported assistants.
Illustrative request
Find the last decision about this API, check it against the repository, and save any new conclusion after the review.
Codex can retrieve the saved evidence and write a new note when authorized. The connection supplies memory tools; the assistant remains responsible for checking the current repository and distinguishing decisions from assumptions.
Illustrative scenario, not a live product result.Choose the documented connection method
The Codex CLI guide covers an HTTP MCP connection with a personal access token supplied through an environment variable. It also describes an OAuth enrollment flow. Both require an existing Memrain server and an operator to prepare the correct source and credential.
Check the source binding
Use Memrain's identity tool after setup to inspect the read sources and write destination. The guide includes an end-to-end diagnostic path and explains common problems such as a missing token, mismatched callback or exhausted model-spend cap. Configuration details can change between Codex releases.
- Verify identity after connecting
- Keep credentials outside repository content
- Use the guide matching your installed client
Separate recall from session capture
A memory-first instruction can ask Codex to retrieve context before answering about past work. Importing its session history is a separate capability with explicit setup, including optional session-end hooks. MCP access by itself does not upload the conversation history.
Keep the context. Move the work forward.
