Integration example
Exact MCP Preview (Codex config)
[mcp_servers.dataxapi] url = "https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp" bearer_token_env_var = "DATAXAPI_API_KEY"
The same API key exposes only the precise tools in its scope. Keep the key in an environment variable, never in the config file. Reuse an explicit idempotency_key for safe retries.
