LinkedIn + Codex integration
Connect LinkedIn to Codex
ConnectChats brings your LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn
ConnectChats gives Codex a small set of tools. Codex calls them when you ask about your LinkedIn chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Codex reads your unread LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How to connect LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then LinkedIn.
- Sign in to linkedin.com in your browser, then copy the session cookies ConnectChats asks for, following the guide on screen.
- ConnectChats checks the session and lists your conversations.
- If LinkedIn signs you out, link it again the same way.
-
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 LinkedIn
Open a new conversation in Codex and ask about your chats. Codex calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How LinkedIn and Codex work together
ConnectChats links to your LinkedIn messages using your signed in browser session, since LinkedIn offers no other way to share personal messages with another app. You choose which conversations your AI app can see.
-
LinkedIn in ConnectChats
Your LinkedIn inbox is supported: one to one messages, group conversations and InMail you receive. Posts, comments and connection requests are not included, only messages. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Sales Navigator and Recruiter inboxes are separate products and are not included.

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 LinkedIn stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Codex only sees the LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn, 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 LinkedIn messages?
Yes, once you link LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn messages for me?
Codex can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own LinkedIn account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn once and use it everywhere.
Does it help me keep up with recruiter messages?
Yes. Your AI app can list the LinkedIn messages that still need an answer and draft polite replies you approve before they are sent.
Why does LinkedIn need browser cookies?
LinkedIn does not offer a sign-in that lets another app read your messages. Your browser session is how ConnectChats connects as you, and signing out of LinkedIn ends it.
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.
