Codex CLI + YouTube Playlists

What is Codex CLI?

OpenAI's terminal coding agent. Uses MCP servers for tool access — add Scavio for real-time search that Codex can call during code generation.

Searching YouTube Playlists with Codex CLI

This integration lets your Codex CLI agent search YouTube Playlists in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with playlist title, video count, creator, last updated — ready for reasoning and decision-making.

Setup

npm install -g @openai/codex
