Does Codex keep working after I close it?

No. Overnight on a shared computer is [Grok Bot](/help/what-is-the-difference-between-grok-bot-and-grok-com).

Codex for sales outreach

Use OpenAI Codex as a coding agent on Omentir. Put MCP in config.toml. Keep the token in an env var. Draft in the session. Send from the workspace. Codex is not ChatGPT chat.

Get started

What Codex is actually good at.

TOML, not a connector screen

Codex reads ~/.codex/config.toml.

ChatGPT chat uses Settings and Connectors. Codex uses mcp_servers, a URL, and bearer_token_env_var. That field is the name of an environment variable. Pasting the token into the file is how it lands in git.

Shared with the Codex surfaces

CLI and the IDE extension share the file.

A project-local .codex/config.toml only loads for trusted projects. If the server never appears, the table is probably named mcp-servers instead of mcp_servers, or the env var was empty when Codex launched.

Check with /mcp

Confirm tools before you ask for a finder.

Then fetch agents.md. Call get_context. List agents. Creating a campaign from a coding session should be a named request.

Send stays in Omentir

Codex should not hold LinkedIn.

Close the session and the work stops. Overnight on a cloud computer is a different product. Caps still live in the workspace.

The config Codex expects

[mcp_servers.omentir]
url = "https://omentir.com/api/agent/v1/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "OMENTIR_API_KEY"

Export OMENTIR_API_KEY in the shell before you launch Codex. Run /mcp in the session. If the server is missing, fix the table name and the env var before you invent a second path.

A first Codex session

01
Finish Omentir in the browser
LinkedIn connected. My Product written. Codex will not fix a slogan.
02
Add the server in config.toml
Global file at ~/.codex/config.toml, or a project file only if the repo is trusted. Details: Codex integration.
03
Ask for a scored list, drafts only
Thirty people. Fit, evidence, risk, two sentences that cite a real trigger. Do not send. Do not enroll.
04
Review in Overview
Cut junk. Start a small campaign. The first real reply is still yours.

Frequently asked questions

No. ChatGPT chat uses Connectors and workspace approval. Codex uses TOML and a Bearer env var. See Codex or ChatGPT.

You can. You should not. bearer_token_env_var wants the variable name.

No. Overnight on a shared computer is Grok Bot.

Pick the agent you already open. Cursor has its own MCP client. Codex shares config.toml across CLI and extension.
