Step 1 of 4Open Plugins

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.

Manual setup for developers

Codex CLI is optional. Run these commands, complete browser authorization, then start a new session. Do not paste bearer tokens or static authorization headers.

Register the remote MCP server

codex mcp add apexgenius --url https://server.autom8.pro/mcp

Authorize in your browser

codex mcp login apexgenius

Inspect registered servers

The desktop app, CLI, and IDE extension share MCP configuration on the same host. The IDE extension does not install plugins. ChatGPT web does not read local Codex configuration.

3. Verify one safe read

List my enabled Google Forms. Do not read responses or change a form.

Compare the returned account and resource with Google Forms. Check the connection status separately from the result of the first read.

What Codex can do in Google Forms

Read3 operations

Looks things up. Changes nothing.

Forms and responses

  • google_forms_list_formsList the Google Forms enabled for you in ApexGenius.

  • google_forms_list_responsesRead the responses sent to a form.

Write2 operations

Changes Google Forms. Runs only when enabled.

Create and change

  • google_forms_create_formCreate an empty form and add it to your enabled forms.
  • google_forms_requestCall any Forms API endpoint for an enabled form, including changes to its questions and settings.

You choose what Codex can use

When you approve Codex, pick Full access, Read only, or Custom. Read only allows the Read operations and nothing else. Custom picks apps and tools one by one.

Limits in Google Forms

  • · Only the forms you enable can be reached, within the Google account’s own access.
  • · Responses can hold people’s names, emails and answers. Read them only when the task needs them.
  • · Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.
  • · Disconnecting stops future access. It does not undo a change already made to a form.

Questions people ask first

How do I connect Google Forms?

Open Google Forms in ApexGenius Connections, choose Connect, sign in with the Google account that owns your forms, and enable the forms you want.

Which forms can my AI reach?

Only the forms you enable in ApexGenius. A new form your AI creates is added to that list.

Can my AI read responses?

Yes, for the forms you enable. Responses can hold personal details, so turn that tool off if your AI does not need them.

Can my AI change a form?

It can create forms, and the full API tool can change questions and settings. That tool is marked destructive. Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Can I start with read-only access?

Yes. Choose Read only when you add your AI agent, and the create and change tools never reach its tool list.
