# Review Codex setup for MemberPress.ai

Updated October 19, 2026

## Before you start

-   You need the paid plan (Pro). On the free plan, **Also connect the advisor (paid)** shows **Upgrade to Pro** instead of the Codex controls.
-   You need at least one site connected to MemberPress.ai. If you haven’t connected one yet, start with [Connecting your site](https://memberpress.ai/help/connecting-your-site/).

Open **Settings → AI assistants** in the MemberPress.ai app and find **Codex** under **Also connect the advisor (paid)**. This is the advisor on your MemberPress.ai account. For your WordPress site’s own endpoint, see [Using your own AI client](https://memberpress.ai/help/using-your-own-ai-client/).

## Review Codex setup

Open the video

This overview changes no account settings and grants no access. [View the full poster](https://memberpress.ai/videos/walkthroughs/review-codex-setup.jpg).

## Add the advisor server

The app shows this command:

```
codex mcp add memberpress --url https://api.memberpress.ai/api/v1/mcp
```

The configuration block shown beside it is an alternative to that command. Add it to `~/.codex/config.toml`:

```
[mcp_servers.memberpress]
url = "https://api.memberpress.ai/api/v1/mcp"
```

Use a server name that does not replace a connection you already rely on. If you choose a different name, use that same name for login.

## Review access before signing in

The app’s next command is:

```
codex mcp login memberpress
```

The app says this opens your browser at the MemberPress.ai consent page, where you choose what Codex may do. Read those permissions before approving. Return to **Settings → AI assistants** to manage the connection afterward.

This walkthrough reviews the commands displayed by the app. It does not execute them, complete sign-in, grant access or verify a Codex tool call.
