### Description (declared)

# codex-chats-mcp

An MCP server for managing ChatGPT conversations and Codex Cloud tasks (chats) from any MCP-compatible client — Claude Code, Codex, Cline, etc.

ChatGPT's web UI lets you archive chats but the "Delete all" button only wipes visible ones, and Codex Cloud has no per-task delete at all. This server wraps the internal `chatgpt.com/backend-api` endpoints so you can list, search, rename, archive, export, and **permanently delete** both kinds of chats from your agent.

> **Unofficial.** This uses undocumented internal endpoints (`/conversations/*`, `/wham/tasks/*`). They can change without notice and require a valid ChatGPT session. Use at your own risk.

## Install

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/shoyu-ramen/codex-chats-mcp
```

Or with `uv`:

```bash
uv tool install git+https://github.com/shoyu-ramen/codex-chats-mcp
```

This installs a `codex-chats-mcp` executable.

## Authentication

The server reads `~/.codex/auth.json` — the same file the Codex CLI maintains after `codex login`. If you don't have Codex installed, log in once with `npx @openai/codex login` (or sign in via the Codex desktop app) to produce the file.

The token has full access to your ChatGPT account. Treat the auth file as a secret.

## Wire it up

### Codex CLI (`~/.codex/config.toml`)

```toml
[mcp_servers.codex-chats]
command = "codex-chats-mcp"
```

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add codex-chats codex-chats-mcp
```

### Anything else

Point your MCP client at the `codex-chats-mcp` executable. It speaks MCP over stdio.
