Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http zip-codes-com-mcp https://mcp.zip-codes.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add zip-codes-com-mcp --url https://mcp.zip-codes.com/mcp

    }
  }
}
