CODEX CLI

OpenAI Codex CLI Integration

Use Api.Airforce as a custom model provider in OpenAI's Codex CLI — every chat model on Airforce becomes selectable from the TUI.

Codex CLI is OpenAI's official coding agent. Add Airforce as a model provider in ~/.codex/config.toml to use all OpenAI-compatible models with your existing workflow.

Install

npm install -g @openai/codex
# or: brew install codex

Quick Start

Create (or edit) ~/.codex/config.toml and register Airforce as a model provider:

~/.codex/config.toml

model = "gpt-5"
model_provider = "airforce"

[model_providers.airforce]
name = "API Airforce"
base_url = "https://api.airforce/v1"
env_key = "AIRFORCE_API_KEY"
wire_api = "chat"

Codex reads the key from the environment variable named in env_key. Set it, then run codex:

macOS / Linux

export AIRFORCE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

codex

Windows (PowerShell)

$env:AIRFORCE_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

codex

Note: wire_api = "chat" routes through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint, which works with every chat model on Airforce. Pick a model marked Tools ✓ on the models page for a working coding agent (read/edit/bash).
