Feature Proposal: Human-Approved Work Relay between ChatGPT and Codex
OpenAI Developer Community

I was replying to the creator
Dev Mode is a mode in chatgt settings that allows adding custom built MCP servers(and probably other features). It reduces safety, as these tools might not always be safe. So there is a risk if you would use tooling that was built by somebody else.
Regarding the feature, the MCP can be either simple → just route prompt to Codex or extremely complex, it really depends. This post really gave me the idea. This was possible quite long time ago already, but I never thought of building it Technically it can give your webgpt access to your pc via the MCP server and CodexCLI(or any other CLI tbh)
Important note: When I think more about it → that might be considered as abuse, exactly because there is no limits on webgpt usage. But simple routing wothout heavy automations seems like a sfe way to go.
Would be great to get a comment from openai staff on that.
PS: I didn’t read the whole feature description from the crator, as it was ai generated and there is no human summary. But just reading about the problem reminded me about my own pain point straight a way.
