How to resize a video with Codex MCP and Medux

Q: Which MCP tool does this tutorial use?

This workflow uses medux_resize_video . Review its arguments before approval and consult the API reference for the current contract.

Use Codex and Medux through MCP to resize a video to a target resolution. This guide covers input preparation, the approval gate, task monitoring, and a concrete output check.

Codex-specific workflow

Run Resize a Video as a Codex MCP task

Use the active workspace as the source of truth. Ask Codex to identify the source video and exact target width and height, select medux_resize_video, and keep the Medux task ID and returned output with the rest of the project. Naming the input roles and the expected result prevents an agent from guessing which file should be used where.

Codex prompt pattern

In this workspace, use medux_resize_video through Medux MCP to resize a video.
First inspect and identify the source video and exact target width and height.
Show me the exact tool arguments before execution.
After the task completes, return the resized video and verify that the output dimensions match the request and the full video plays correctly.

Approval gate

Before approving the call, compare the selected tool, file or asset IDs, ordering, timing, and output settings with the request. If a local filename was mapped to an uploaded Medux file ID, keep that mapping visible so it can be audited later.

Result verification

Let Codex monitor an asynchronous task until it reaches a terminal state, then save or report the resized video. The final check is explicit: confirm that the output dimensions match the request and the full video plays correctly.

What this tutorial does

Medux operation

Resize a video to a target resolution.

Agent workflow

Codex selects medux_resize_video, presents the arguments for review, calls Medux, and reports the response.

Before you start

Authentication

Authentication is required via Authorization header.

Preconditions

Upload the source file and create a file reference before calling this endpoint.
Successful requests return a Medux task record immediately. Use the task query or sync endpoints to track completion.
All file inputs must be uploaded and persisted as file references before submission.

Prompt Codex

Start with a clear instruction that names the Medux operation and the intended inputs.

Resize a video to a target resolution.

Request fields to review

Confirm these values before approving the MCP tool call. The linked API page remains the source of truth for current limits and response semantics.

Field	Type	Requirement	Purpose
`input_file_id`	string	Required	Input video file id.
`width`	integer	Required	Output width in pixels.
`height`	integer	Required	Output height in pixels.
`model_id`	string	Optional	Model Default: resize-video-default.
`title`	string	Optional	Optional task title.

Step-by-step workflow

Connect Medux MCP to Codex

Add the Medux remote MCP endpoint to Codex, provide an authorized credential, and confirm that the medux_resize_video tool is available.

Prepare the required inputs

Prepare the source files, asset IDs, text, or settings required by the operation. Upload local media first when the tool requests file IDs.

Ask Codex to run Resize Video

Use one direct instruction with the intended values. Codex should select the Medux tool and show the proposed arguments before execution.

Review and approve the tool call

Check that the tool is medux_resize_video and that each file ID, task ID, option, and output setting matches your request before approving it.

Check the Medux response

If Medux returns an asynchronous task, let the agent monitor it until completion; otherwise review the immediate response and save any result identifiers or output URLs.
