Connect Codex CLI to YouTube
One line gives Codex CLI your YouTube account as tools: 6 endpoints, videos, channels, playlists, called with your own connection. No key in the prompt, a receipt for every call, revoke Codex CLI's access alone any time.
Three steps
- Create a free 0n3 account and connect YouTube. Paste a key or sign in; it lands in your vault, encrypted.
- Install 0n3 into Codex CLI. OpenAI's terminal agent reads 0n3 over Streamable HTTP with a token from your environment.
- Ask Codex CLI: whoami. Then: "List videos in YouTube".
Put the token in your environment
export ON3_TOKEN="<your 0n token>"
Add it to your shell profile so Codex finds it next time.
The line above carries a placeholder; 0n3.app/install mints a real key named for Codex CLI and fills it in.
