The walkthrough uses the original ChatGPT web plugin captures. After connecting, open Codex in the desktop app and start a new task with ApexGenius. A ChatGPT web connection does not verify Codex access.

A public ApexGenius plugin listing is not verified. Use a plugin shared with you or one you created, subject to your account and workspace policy.

Questions about connecting Codex to Confluence

Updated August 26, 2026.

How do I connect Codex to Confluence?

Connect Codex to Confluence through ApexGenius in three steps. Sign in to ApexGenius and connect Confluence by signing in with your Atlassian account and picking the site. Add ApexGenius to Codex. Then open a task in Codex and ask a question about your Confluence. Start with a read, so nothing changes.

Is there a Confluence MCP server for Codex?

Yes. ApexGenius is an MCP server that Codex connects to once. It carries your Confluence connection and 6 Confluence operations, so Codex does not need a separate Confluence integration or plugin. You set it up one time and add each agent the same way.

What can Codex do in Confluence once it is connected?

Codex can run 6 Confluence operations through ApexGenius: 4 reads that list spaces, search pages, list pages and read page content, and 2 writes that create pages and update pages in spaces the connected Atlassian account can reach, and nowhere else.

Can Codex read all my Confluence spaces?

Only the spaces the connected Atlassian account can already reach. ApexGenius never widens access beyond that account’s permissions. You also refresh the connection resources and enable the spaces you want Codex to reach, so it only sees those. Your Atlassian account sets the outer limit.

Can Codex change my Confluence?

Not until you allow writes. Scope Codex to read only and the write tools never appear in its tool list. Updating a page can overwrite content, so it is marked destructive, and enabled tools run when called. Write activity is recorded for review.

Can I use the same Confluence connection with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot or Muse?

Yes. One Confluence connection in ApexGenius works with every compatible agent you add, including Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot or Muse. Each agent gets its own access choice and its own short setup, so you can pick read only for one agent and more for another.
