FAQ — NotFair X Ads for Codex
Everything you need to know about installing and using the NotFair X MCP inside OpenAI's Codex CLI.
What is the NotFair X Ads Codex MCP integration?
It's an MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for OpenAI's Codex CLI. Once added, Codex can read your X (Twitter) ad accounts in real time, then diagnose issues, recommend fixes, and propose changes you approve in chat.
How is this different from the Claude setup guides?
Same backend, different client. The Codex CLI calls the NotFair X MCP server using OpenAI's MCP support. The Claude Connector and Claude Code plugin call it from Anthropic's clients. Capabilities are identical.
How long does setup take?
Under a minute. Run a single `codex mcp add NotFair-XAds --url https://notfair.co/api/mcp/x_ads` command in your terminal — Codex walks you through the OAuth flow and registers the MCP automatically.
Do I need to write any code?
No. One terminal command sets everything up. There are no JSON config edits, no environment variables, and no scripts to run.
Is the integration free?
Yes. Adding NotFair X to Codex is free with no credit card. Paid plans unlock higher usage limits and team features.
Can Codex actually change my X ad accounts?
Only with your explicit approval. Codex can propose pausing campaigns or line items, adjusting budgets, or renaming entities — but every write action is shown to you first and requires confirmation.
