Ask Codex for a product video. Get the file back.

Once Roilo is connected, type what you want in plain words.

• “Make a 9:16 video for my tumbler. Use the photos on this product page: [link].”
• “What video styles does Roilo have, and what does each one cost in credits?”
• “Make that again in 16:9 with captions, for my Facebook ad.”
• “Is my video ready? Send me the download link.”
• “How many credits do I have left? How much has this key spent this month?”

Codex can also list your recent videos, approve one that is held for review, and delete one you do not need.

Tip: give Codex photo links, like the ones on your own shop or product page. Public image links work best.

One command, and a Roilo key.

You need a Roilo account with credits, and Codex (the command-line tool or the editor extension).

First, get your Roilo key

1. In Roilo, open the account menu (your avatar) and choose API keys.
2. Click Create key and give it a name. You can set a monthly credit limit if you like.
3. Copy the key now. Roilo shows it only once.

Then, give Codex the key

4. Set the key as an environment variable called ROILO_API_KEY in the place where you start Codex. On macOS and Linux, add this line to your shell profile, then open a new terminal:

   export ROILO_API_KEY="paste-your-key-here"

   Copy
   On Windows PowerShell, run this once, then open a new terminal:

   setx ROILO_API_KEY "paste-your-key-here"

   Copy

Last, add Roilo to Codex

5. Run this command:

   codex mcp add roilo --url https://roilo.co/api/mcp --bearer-token-env-var ROILO_API_KEY

   Copy
6. Codex saves it to ~/.codex/config.toml. You can also paste this in by hand:

   [mcp_servers.roilo]
   url = "https://roilo.co/api/mcp"
   bearer_token_env_var = "ROILO_API_KEY"

   Copy
7. Check it worked. Run codex mcp list. Roilo should show as enabled, with auth “Bearer token”.
8. Start Codex and ask for a video.

The command-line tool and the editor extension share the same config.toml, so you set it up once. Videos take a few minutes. Ask Codex to check back and tell you when yours is ready.

The same credits as on the website, with a cap on each key.

• Credits work exactly as on the website, at the same prices. You buy a credit pack, with no monthly plan: see pricing.
• Set a monthly credit limit on each key, so Codex can never spend more than you decide.
• Lost a key, or done with it? Revoke it any time on the API keys page.
• The key sits in an environment variable on your computer and is not written into config.toml.

The same server works in more places.
