Show HN: Agentify Desktop: No-API Access to ChatGPT Pro Inside Codex

1•agentifysh•1h ago
I got tired of copy pasting code and context back and forth between my codex & chatgpt.com pro

My coding workflow happens locally in Codex. I wanted the reasoning power of the ChatGPT Pro model without the friction of context switching or paying double for API credits on massive context windows.

What it is:

Agentify Desktop is an Electron-based wrapper that exposes your active chatgpt.com session as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

Core Features:

    Web-to-CLI Bridge: You can prompt ChatGPT Web directly from your local Codex environment. It automates the browser interaction, handles file uploads, and returns the response to your terminal.

    No API Keys: It uses your existing logged-in web session.

    Bidirectional Orchestration (WIP): allows the reverse: you can drive your local Codex instance from the ChatGPT web chat. You can tell ChatGPT Web to "plan and execute it on my codex cli(s)," and it will trigger or you can do one way multiple codex cli instances).
How it works:

quickstart.sh installs, registers mcp to your codex by spinning up a local Electron browser that you log into. The MCP server connects to this browser instance. When you query it from Codex, it automates the input/output in the web view.

Safety/Limits:

This is designed for individual "power user" workflow (similar to other popular chatgpt.com automation tools), not bulk scraping . It includes rate limiting (token buckets) and concurrency limits to keep your account safe and avoid flagging spam filters. it doesn't solve CAPTCHAs for you.

It’s currently tested on Mac-only (I don't have a Windows machine to test on yet) and definitely a work in progress. looking for feedback, i will add other sites like grok.com, aistudio.com, and more as requested.
