OpenAI Codex CLI (Open Responses Fork)

A fork of openai/codex integrated with Julep's Open Responses API

Overview

This repository is a fork of the original openai/codex CLI tool. The primary change in this fork is the migration from the original OpenAI API dependency (noted in the original repo readme referencing deprecation around March 2025) to using Julep's Open Responses API. This allows the CLI to interact with a wider range of language models from various providers.

For the original documentation, features, and goals of the Codex CLI project, please refer to the upstream repository. This README focuses specifically on the setup and usage changes related to the Open Responses integration.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js: Version 22 or newer (as required by the original codex-cli).
API Keys: You'll need API keys for the language model providers you intend to use (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq).

Setup

Install Open Responses CLI: Follow the instructions at the Open Responses Quickstart to install the CLI tool. Typically:
```
npx open-responses
```
Configure API Keys: Set the necessary API keys as environment variables for the providers you want to use. The Open Responses server will pick these up. Refer to the Open Responses documentation for the specific environment variable names (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).
```
npx open-responses setup
```
Run the Open Responses Server: Start the local Open Responses server. It acts as a proxy to the different model providers.
```
npx open-responses start
```
Keep this server running in a separate terminal.

Clone and Build this Fork: Clone this repository and build the codex-cli package:

git clone https://github.com/lolrazh/codex.git
cd codex/codex-cli
npm install
npm run build

Run the CLI: Execute the CLI using node, specifying the model via the -m flag using the <provider>/<model> format recognized by your Open Responses server.
```
# Example using an Groq model via Open Responses
node dist/cli.js -m groq/gemm2-9b-it
```
