How to connect ViewsMax to Codex

1. 1

   Link the accounts you publish to

   ≈2 min · one-time

   Sign up for ViewsMax, go to Dashboard → Connections, and link each channel. The platform logins happen inside ViewsMax, so your AI only ever holds a ViewsMax permission — and new channels you add later show up for it straight away.

2. 2

   Plug ViewsMax into Codex

   ≈1 min · one-time
   1. a
      Register the server

      Paste this into your terminal.

      Terminal Copy

      codex mcp add viewsmax --url https://api.viewsmax.com/api/mcp

   2. b
      Log in

      Run the login command then approve ViewsMax in the browser window that opens (read-only or full access).

      Terminal Copy

      codex mcp login viewsmax

      The CLI, the IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app read the same config, so this only has to be done once.

   No browser (CI, servers)?

   Generate an API key in ViewsMax under Settings → AI Assistant Access, put it in a VIEWSMAX_API_KEY environment variable, and reference it from ~/.codex/config.toml.

   ~/.codex/config.toml Copy

   [mcp_servers.viewsmax]
   url = "https://api.viewsmax.com/api/mcp"
   bearer_token_env_var = "VIEWSMAX_API_KEY"

3. 3

   Run a quick test

   ≈30 sec

   Open a new conversation and paste this. The reply proves the connection works and gives you your channel names to reuse in later requests.

   Which of my social accounts can you reach through ViewsMax?

   Got two accounts on the same platform? Name the one you mean ("my @brand Instagram") so your AI doesn't have to stop and ask.

4. 4

   Give it a real job

   ≈1 min

   Codex checks with you before touching your account. Want something live straight away? Just say so. Would rather look first? Ask for a draft.

   Summarise what changed in the last three commits as a LinkedIn update and a shorter X version. Keep both as ViewsMax drafts.

   Example reply

   Read the last three commits and saved two ViewsMax drafts: a LinkedIn update (4 short paragraphs) and a 240-character X post. Neither is scheduled — say when and I'll queue them.

   What happens next

   • Before it uses a ViewsMax tool that changes something, Codex asks for your OK.
   • ViewsMax stores the post as a draft, or queues it for the time you gave.
   • At publish time ViewsMax sends it to each channel separately and keeps a result per platform, so one failure never blocks the rest.
