Connect Codex, Cursor and VS Code

Codex (CLI and IDE extension)

Add the server and sign in:

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

codex mcp login chataman

The browser opens the ChatAman consent page, where you choose the organization and permissions. You can also add it from the IDE extension: gear menu → MCP servers → Add server.

Codex with a connection token

In ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.chataman]
url = "https://chataman.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "CHATAMAN_MCP_TOKEN"

Then set the environment variable CHATAMAN_MCP_TOKEN to the token you created in ChatAman.

Cursor

Create a token in Developer tools → AI assistants, then add to .cursor/mcp.json (or your global Cursor MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chataman": {
      "url": "https://chataman.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_CHATAMAN_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

In .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "chataman": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://chataman.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_CHATAMAN_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP client

Use the Streamable HTTP transport with:

• URL: https://chataman.com/mcp
• Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CHATAMAN_TOKEN

Clients that support OAuth with dynamic client registration can sign in instead of using a token.

Keep tokens safe

• A token is shown only once when you create it. Store it in an environment variable or a secret manager.
• Never commit a token to a repository or paste it into a chat.
• Each token has an expiry date. Revoke it from Developer tools → AI assistants if it may have leaked.
