ChatGPT and Codex

The ChatGPT desktop app and Codex share the same configuration: a single button connects both.

To install them: download ChatGPT or install Codex from OpenAI’s official website.

Connecting ChatGPT and Codex

1. In TOWeb Settings › AI, click Add to ChatGPT.
2. Quit ChatGPT or Codex completely, start it again, then open a new conversation.

Checking

In Codex, type this command:

/mcp

toweb should appear as connected.

Good to know

• Start Codex normally, never as administrator.
• Don’t use Create custom MCP server: that window only accepts online servers. TOWeb’s Add to ChatGPT button is all you need.
• To avoid approving every action, type this command in Codex:
  Codex

  /permissions

  Then choose Approve for me or Full Access. On Windows, if Enter doesn’t confirm a choice, type its number.
• Add to your requests “Use only the tools of the toweb server: no screen control, no web search, no file reading.” Without this instruction, Codex may try to control the screen.
• The ChatGPT app may see TOWeb without using it: this is a known issue at OpenAI. If it happens to you, use Codex.
