GroupMe + Codex integration
Connect GroupMe to Codex
ConnectChats brings your GroupMe chats into Codex. Ask Codex to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Codex can do with your GroupMe
ConnectChats gives Codex a small set of tools. Codex calls them when you ask about your GroupMe chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Codex reads your unread GroupMe 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 GroupMe 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 GroupMe account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How to connect GroupMe to Codex
It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
Add ConnectChats to Codex
- In your terminal, run: codex mcp add connectchats --url https://api.connectchats.com/mcp
- Run codex mcp login connectchats. Your browser opens the ConnectChats sign-in page. Sign in with your passkey.
- Start Codex and ask about your messages.
-
Link your GroupMe account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then GroupMe.
- Sign in to GroupMe and allow ConnectChats to access your groups.
- Your chats then appear in the dashboard, where you choose which ones your AI app can see.
-
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.
-
Ask Codex about your GroupMe
Open a new conversation in Codex and ask about your chats. Codex calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How GroupMe and Codex work together
ConnectChats connects to your GroupMe account through GroupMe's public API. You sign in to GroupMe, allow ConnectChats to access your groups and choose which chats your AI app can see.
-
GroupMe in ConnectChats
Groups and direct messages are both supported. GroupMe works with SMS for members without the app. Those members' messages come through like any other. You can stop sharing a group with your AI app at any time from the dashboard. Messages your AI app sends go out from your own account, after you approve them.

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.
Your GroupMe stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Codex only sees the GroupMe 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 GroupMe, 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.
Questions
Can Codex read my GroupMe messages?
Yes, once you link GroupMe in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Codex. Codex reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Codex send GroupMe messages for me?
Codex can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own GroupMe account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the GroupMe to Codex integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Codex and link GroupMe from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link GroupMe once and use it everywhere.
Does it help with busy team or club groups?
Yes. Your AI app can summarize a long group chat, list the dates and plans people mentioned and flag questions aimed at you.
What do I need to link GroupMe?
Your GroupMe account. Open https://connectchats.com/app, choose GroupMe, sign in to GroupMe and allow ConnectChats to access your groups.
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.
