Codex CLI

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 22+
  • Codex CLI installed: npm install -g @openai/codex
  • A Chuizi.AI account with an API key (starts with ck-)

Configuration

Set environment variables to configure Codex CLI to use Chuizi.AI as its backend:

terminal
bash
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.chuizi.ai/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=ck-your-key-here

To make this permanent, add the variables to your shell configuration file (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):

terminal
bash
echo 'export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.chuizi.ai/v1' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export OPENAI_API_KEY=ck-your-key-here' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Usage

Once configured, use Codex CLI as normal:

terminal
bash
# Analyze the current codebase
codex "explain this codebase"

# Generate code
codex "add error handling to the main function"

# Specify a model
codex --model openai/gpt-4.1 "refactor this file"
