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

-
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 Messenger account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Messenger.

- If you use two-factor authentication, confirm the sign-in on your phone.

-
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 Messenger
Open a new conversation in Codex and ask about your chats. Codex calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Messenger and Codex work together
ConnectChats links to Messenger when you sign in with your Facebook account through Meta's sign-in page. Your AI app sees the Messenger chats you choose to share.
-
Messenger in ConnectChats
One to one chats and group chats are supported. Messenger encrypts personal chats by default. End-to-end encrypted chats may not all come through, because only your own devices hold their keys. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions.

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 Messenger stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Codex only sees the Messenger 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 Messenger, 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 Messenger messages?
Yes, once you link Messenger 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 Messenger messages for me?
Codex can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own Messenger account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the Messenger 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 Messenger 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 Messenger once and use it everywhere.
Do Instagram DMs come with Messenger?
Instagram is a separate chat app in ConnectChats with its own sign-in, even though Meta lets the two message each other.
What do I need to link Messenger?
Your Facebook account. If you use two-factor authentication, keep your phone nearby to confirm the sign-in.
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.
