Add Phersa to Codex

Find viral videos, make your own with your AI persona and run comment-to-DM, without leaving Codex. Codex connects to Phersa's remote MCP server with one command, then codex mcp login signs you in.

In your terminal, run:

codex mcp add phersa --url https://mcp.phersa.com/mcp

Setup

Connect Codex to Phersa

Codex MCP Setup: Add Phersa.

phersa.com/codex

Step 1: Add the server

Run this in your terminal. It adds an [mcp_servers.phersa] entry to ~/.codex/config.toml.

codex mcp add phersa --url https://mcp.phersa.com/mcp
Step 2: Sign in

Sign in in the browser and approve the access.

codex mcp login phersa
Step 3: Check the connection

Start Codex and ask it to run personas-list: a list of personas, even an empty one, means it works.
