A step-by-step setup workflow for connecting the OpenAI Codex command-line tool to OmniRoute, an OpenAI-compatible backend.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect the machine type, create Codex configuration and named profiles, set required environment variables, verify the connection, and configure session affinity for long-running work.
Why use it?
It removes the need to work out operating-system settings, shell commands, profiles, environment variables, and verification steps yourself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

config-codex-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview

Step-by-step agent workflow to configure the OpenAI Codex CLI on any machine (Linux, macOS, Windows) to use OmniRoute as an OpenAI-compatible backend. Detects OS and shell, writes config.toml and 7 named profiles, sets environment variables, and verifies the setup.

Quick install

npm install -g omniroute   # or: npx omniroute
omniroute --version

Long-running Codex tasks (#7287)

Two OmniRoute defaults silently break multi-hour Codex sessions. Document them whenever configuring Codex for overnight / multi-hour work. Full guide: docs/guides/CODEX-CLI-CONFIGURATION.md → Long-running tasks.

Session affinity (default off)

  • Setting: sessionAffinityTtlMs (ms; UI shows Affinity TTL (seconds) under Dashboard → Settings → Routing → Session affinity). Legacy alias: codexSessionAffinityTtlMs.
  • Default 0 = disabled. Each turn can land on a different account and break prompt-cache / session continuity.
  • Codex session keys (x-codex-session-id, x-session-id, x-omniroute-session, body prompt_cache_key / session_id) are only used for pinning when TTL > 0.
  • Max: 86400 seconds / 86400000 ms (24h). Set TTL above the expected task length (e.g. 43200 s for ~12h).

Stream idle timeout (default 10 minutes)

  • Env: STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS (default 600000). Also consider FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS (same baseline; 0 disables).
  • Synthetic SSE heartbeats do not reset the idle clock — only real upstream chunks do.
  • A quiet reasoning turn past the idle window is force-closed (stream_idle_timeout / StreamIdleTimeoutError). Grep logs for Idle timeout: no data from.

Recommended multi-hour recipe

  1. Dashboard → Settings → Routing → Session affinity → Affinity TTL = 43200 (12h) or 86400 (24h max).
  2. OmniRoute environment:
