Connect Google Messages to Codex

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Codex reads your unread Google Messages chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Codex searches your Google Messages history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Codex writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Google Messages account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

   Pick the chats Codex can see

   Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Codex never sees the rest.

4. 4

   Ask Codex about your Google Messages

   Open a new conversation in Codex and ask about your chats. Codex calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• Google Messages in ConnectChats

  SMS, MMS and RCS chats, including group chats, are supported. Your phone sends and receives the texts, so it needs to stay on and connected to the internet. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. This is for Android phones. On iPhone, texts go through iMessage, which needs a Mac.

• 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.

• You pick the chats

  Codex only sees the Google Messages chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  Codex prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Google Messages, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
