Setup
Step 1
Sign in to create your private setup prompt
After signing in, generate or paste an access key and it will be inserted into the prompt. New accounts include a first research run.
Step 2
Codex setup prompt
Generate a key or verify the complete key you pasted before copying.
Set up Webhound MCP for Codex.
Follow these steps:
1. Run codex mcp get webhound. If it finds an existing Webhound entry, run codex mcp remove webhound; remove only Webhound and preserve every unrelated MCP server.
2. Run the add command below in a terminal.
3. Restart Codex or open a new Codex task so the local MCP process and tool list reload.
4. Open /mcp in Codex and confirm Webhound is enabled.
5. Call webhound_health. Setup is complete only when it reports authenticated: true.
Codex command:
codex mcp add webhound --env WEBHOUND_KEY=wh_live_mcp_... -- npx -y webhound-mcp@latest
Preserve every unrelated MCP setting. Keep the embedded access key private. Do not create or edit workspace rules.
After saving it, stop and tell me exactly what to restart or reopen. Webhound tools load in the restarted or fresh agent session.
When Webhound is available in the fresh session, call webhound_health. Setup is complete only when mcp_ready=true, api_reachable=true, and authenticated=true. Then tell me to copy the Webhound onboarding prompt from https://webhound.ai/mcp?client=codex. If I change the subject, stop setup and answer the new request.First task
Onboarding prompt
Paste this only after Webhound is connected and the health check passes.
Run Webhound onboarding for this agent. Call webhound_onboarding once with client set to codex, then follow its returned next action one step at a time. Do not create or edit workspace rules unless I explicitly ask. If I change the subject, stop onboarding and answer the new request.Manual fallback
Local package with an access key
After saving the access-key configuration, restart Codex or open a new task before verifying Webhound.
Codex command
Generate a key or verify the complete key you pasted before copying.
codex mcp add webhound --env WEBHOUND_KEY=wh_live_mcp_... -- npx -y webhound-mcp@latest
