Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add youtube-channel-scraper-tracker-mcp --url https://akhil-rajesh--youtube-channel-scraper.apify.actor/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable youtube-channel-scraper-tracker-mcp in your MCP settings.
