Use Codex CLI with Bridge

In short: Add Bridge as a model provider in ~/.codex/config.toml with wire_api = "responses", put your Bridge key in WEKOYA_API_KEY, and run codex. Codex then works with Claude, Gemini, GPT or any Bridge model that supports tool calling, billed in naira from your balance.

Set it up

1. Create a free account with your email.
2. Open Billing in the console and top up your naira balance by bank transfer to your own account number.
3. Create a key under API keys. It starts with wk_live_ and is shown once, so keep it somewhere safe.
4. Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml (Codex ignores providers in a project's own config file):

model = "claude-sonnet-5-5"
model_provider = "bridge"

[model_providers.bridge]
name = "Bridge by Wekoya"
base_url = "https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/v1"
env_key = "WEKOYA_API_KEY"
wire_api = "responses"

export WEKOYA_API_KEY=wk_live_...
codex

What to know

• Codex only speaks OpenAI's Responses API (its own config reference says so), which Bridge serves at /v1/responses. See Responses API and Codex.
• Pick a model with tool calling ("Tool calling: Yes" on its page); Codex edits files and runs commands through tools.
• Codex's built-in web search is not available through Bridge; Codex works without it.
• Change models by editing model, or for one run with codex -m gemini-3.5-flash-lite.
