```bash
codex mcp add sift --url YOUR_SIFT_MCP_URL
codex mcp login sift
```

Start a new Codex session so tool discovery reloads. Verify `contract.get`, then `context.assemble`. The add/login command shape was confirmed against installed Codex CLI `0.144.1`; Sift's end-to-end production verification is still pending. [Official configuration evidence](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp/).

Use [local MCP](/connect/local-mcp/) when remote OAuth is unavailable.
