Integration · Codex × Reddit Ads
Run Reddit Ads inside Codex
NotFair connects Codex to live Reddit Ads through the same hosted MCP endpoint used across the product. Campaigns, ad groups, ads, community targeting, pixels, and reporting.
Connect your Reddit Ads account
Authorize once at notfair.co — then open Codex and start asking real questions about your account.
Setup
Connect Codex in three steps
Codex uses NotFair's hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. NotFair hosts Reddit Ads OAuth. You authorize existing ads accounts without creating a Reddit developer app for the MCP client.
1. Register NotFair as an MCP server
From any shell where Codex CLI is installed.
codex mcp add NotFair-RedditAds --url https://notfair.co/api/mcp/notfair2. Authorize Reddit Ads
Open /connect/reddit-ads on notfair.co, complete the hosted connection, and select the accounts or properties Codex may use.
3. Start a session
Open Codex CLI and ask it to diagnose Reddit Ads using live tools.
