Format

codex://settings/connections/ssh/add?name={host}

Try it

codex://settings/connections/ssh/add?name=myserverOpen

What you supply

{host}

The host alias to add.

Must already exist as a Host alias in the reader's ~/.ssh/config. This link selects a host, it does not define one.

The name is a lookup into the reader's own ~/.ssh/config, so this link only works for people who already have that host configured. If they do not, it fails — silently, like the rest of the scheme.

That makes it a reasonable thing to put in a team runbook, where everyone shares an SSH config, and a poor thing to put in public documentation.

Bare codex://settings/connections/ssh opens the SSH pane without trying to add anything.
