Codex CLI Manual Setup

Use this page when you want to connect Codex CLI to Codebyby manually instead of through CC Switch.

Prepare

Make sure you have:

• Registered and logged in to the Codebyby console
• Bought quota or a plan
• Created an API key
• Copied the Base URL and model name

Environment variables

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your Codebyby API key"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="Base URL shown in the console"

PowerShell:

$env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your Codebyby API key"
$env:OPENAI_BASE_URL="Base URL shown in the console"

Codex config

If you use ~/.codex/config.toml, add a Codebyby provider. Field support may vary by Codex version.

model = "model name available in the console"
model_provider = "codebyby"

[model_providers.codebyby]
name = "Codebyby"
base_url = "Base URL shown in the console"
env_key = "OPENAI_API_KEY"
wire_api = "responses"

Test

codex "Reply in one sentence whether the current connection works"

If it fails, check Base URL, API key, model name, proxy, and network settings.
