How to install audrey in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.audrey]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "audrey"]

Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

What does audrey need from you?

Configuration only — Declares config values but no credentials.

AUDREY_DATA_DIRoptionalEnvironment variable
Directory for the SQLite memory store (defaults to ~/.audrey/data)
AUDREY_AGENToptionalEnvironment variable
Logical memory owner used for scoped operations (defaults to local-agent)
AUDREY_EMBEDDING_PROVIDERoptionalEnvironment variable
local (default, on-device model), openai, gemini, or mock
AUDREY_LLM_PROVIDERoptionalEnvironment variable
Optional reflection/consolidation model: anthropic, openai, chatgpt, or mock; unset keeps everything local
AUDREY_ENABLE_ADMIN_TOOLSoptionalEnvironment variable
Set to 1 to expose the export, import, forget, and promote tools

Pass secrets through your shell environment rather than committing them into a config file.

What tools does audrey expose?

This server runs as a local package. We only query remote servers for their tool list — asking this one would mean executing it, so its tools are listed in the documentation below.

What the code can do

Read from the published package source — never executed. Parsed 61 of 61 source files.

This server can run other programs on your machine, read and write files and make network requests.

How it was published

Published by a verified CI identity (github trusted publishing) rather than a personal token.
Has a provenance attestation tying this artifact to the commit it was built from.
1 npm maintainer — a single point of compromise · last published by GitHub Actions.

Maintainer of this package and think something here is wrong? Tell us and we'll correct it.

Before you install

Signals gathered from the source repo and package registry — not a safety verdict.

What it can reach

Runs code on your machine — Executes as a local process with your user's permissions, including filesystem access.
Downloads at launch — The package is fetched from its registry each run unless you pin a version.

Last commit today — Actively maintained.
26 GitHub stars — Community adoption signal.

Documentation

Full README

<strong>Memory that shows up before your coding agent makes the same mistake twice.</strong>

Audrey gives Codex and Claude Code one local, evidence-backed memory loop: remember what mattered, recall it automatically, check before acting, and learn from what happened next.

Memory before action

You fix the deploy command on Monday. On Thursday, a fresh session tries the broken version again.

Audrey brings relevant project memory into the next session, checks supported tool calls before they run, and links their reported outcomes to the check that preceded them. A Guard decision carries evidence IDs you can inspect. Grounding can flag memories that reference deleted files or package scripts.

Try the SQLite-backed demo before configuring a host:

bash

npm exec --yes --package=audrey -- audrey demo --scenario repeated-failure

The demo simulates a failed deploy, passes read-only inspection commands through the hook, and checks a proposed retry. It does not execute a deployment or change host configuration. After npm fetches the package, the demo needs no API key, model download, or network call.

Meet Audrey Autopilot

Install Audrey once, review the hooks once, and then use Codex or Claude Code normally.

bash

npm install -g audrey
audrey install --host auto

Requires Node.js 22.16+ (22.x) or 24+. SQLite is built into Node, so fresh installs and npx launches work without approving dependency scripts. npm 11.17+ may warn about dependency scripts, and npm 12 may report that it blocked them; those scripts are not required for Audrey's CPU embedding runtime.

auto configures whichever supported CLIs are installed. You can choose one explicitly:

bash

audrey install --host codex
audrey install --host claude-code
