Building a browser-to-Codex bridge via codex mcp-server — ToU clarification needed
OpenAI Developer Community
February 28, 2026
Thanks @vb, you’re right — I was looking at the Consumer Terms of Use, which prohibits “automatically or programmatically extract data or Output.”
After checking the OpenAI Services Agreement (for APIs/developers), the equivalent clause is narrower: it only restricts extracting data “other than as permitted through the Services.” Since codex mcp-server and codex exec are officially documented integration points — and Sign in with ChatGPT itself generates an API key under the hood — programmatic usage through these interfaces seems clearly intended.
Appreciate the nudge in the right direction. That clears things up for my project.
