ConnectChats in Codex
Codex adds remote MCP servers from the command line and keeps them in config.toml. Add ConnectChats once, sign in with your passkey, and Codex can read and search the chats you share.
- The command writes a [mcp_servers.connectchats] entry with url = "https://api.connectchats.com/mcp" to ~/.codex/config.toml. You can also add it there by hand.
- Codex CLI, the Codex IDE extension and the desktop app share this configuration, so you set it up once.
- On a machine without a browser, run codex mcp login connectchats --no-browser, open the printed link elsewhere and paste the redirect URL back.
- Codex needs a ChatGPT plan that includes Codex, or an OpenAI API key.

Does Codex see all my messages?
No. Codex sees only the chats you share in your ConnectChats dashboard, and it reads them only when you ask something that needs them.
Can Codex send messages for me?
Codex can save a reply as a draft, and it is sent once you approve it in ConnectChats. You can turn on auto-send for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Which chat apps work in Codex?

Is ConnectChats free in Codex?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app. No card needed.
Is this the same as adding ConnectChats to ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT on the web does not read your Codex config, so you add ConnectChats there separately. Both use the same ConnectChats account.
Can Codex send messages from a script?
Codex can create drafts in any run. They are only sent after you approve them, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
