WebCodex lets ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents work directly with code and developer tools on your own machines.
Ask your assistant to inspect a repository, modify code, run tests, use Git, or investigate a failure. Your repository stays on the machine where it already lives; you do not need to move the project into a hosted workspace just to use an AI coding agent.
If you want ChatGPT to keep using your real development environment, start with a regular Server + Runner. This is the full development experience: durable access to multiple projects plus project exploration, editing, Git, commands, tests, long-running work, and code navigation. Public HTTPS, Cloudflare Tunnel, and OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel are only ways for ChatGPT to reach the Server; they do not switch you into a different restricted experience.
For Windows or macOS, the recommended first path is WebCodex Desktop + the official OpenAI Secure Tunnel. Follow the screenshot-based Desktop installation guide. For CLI, an existing Server, self-hosting, or advanced setup, use the Full Setup guide.
To quickly see whether WebCodex fits your workflow, run this inside one repository:
cd /path/to/your/repository
npx --yes @yyjeqhc/webcodex share
share starts a temporary, single-project, restricted WebCodex environment and prints the ChatGPT connection values. The endpoint and temporary credential stop working when the command exits. It is intended for trials and short-lived sharing, not as the default full daily setup. See the Quick Trial for the exact steps.

share, Server, and Runner workflows.share, and standalone Runner workflows.webcodex share --tunnel cloudflare|openai|none.share; managed OpenAI tunnel-client is supported. The pinned Cloudflare release has no official Windows ARM64 artifact, so Cloudflare requires a trusted explicit/PATH cloudflared. The 0.4.0 Desktop installer is Windows x64 only. WebCodex-managed Windows Server services remain unsupported outside Desktop's owned foreground runtime.Windows and long-lived deployments are covered in Deployment and MCP.
If someone already provides the WebCodex Server and connection credential, use that existing Server and follow the Full Setup guide. For a normal Windows/macOS personal installation, use the Desktop guide. Use Deployment only for production hosting, multiple users, systemd/Docker, OAuth, proxies, and private CAs.
Those are follow-up operating concerns, not concepts a first-time user should have to learn before WebCodex works.
shareWebCodex can read and modify files and execute commands inside configured project boundaries. Use version control, keep credentials out of prompts/logs/Git, and register only project roots the assistant should access. Read SECURITY.md for the complete model.
cargo build --release --workspace --bins
