Connect Pancake to Codex

Ask Codex for leads, build Plays and edit messages, on the same workspace as the app.

Setup takes five minutes and needs no API key.

Setup

Four steps

  1. 01. Create your Pancake account

    Click Start free and add your website. Pancake builds your Brain in a few minutes.

    Start free

  2. 02. Install the Pancake plugin

    In your terminal, run:

    codex plugin marketplace add get-pancake/agent-plugins
    codex plugin add pancake@pancake

    It adds the Pancake server and its four skills.

  3. 03. Sign in

    Run:

    codex mcp login pancake

    Your browser opens. Sign in to Pancake, pick your workspace and approve.

  4. 04. Check the connection

    Start Codex and ask:

    What's in my Pancake Brain? Answer in five lines.

    If Codex answers with your company, you're connected.

Prompts

Then ask

Copy one, replace what's in brackets, send.

Read my Pancake Brain. Who do you think my best customers are, and what would you change?
I sell [what you sell] to [who you sell to]. Build me a Pancake Play that finds [the people you want] who [what they are doing right now]. Show me the plan and what it will cost before you run it.
Show me the new leads, best fit first, with the reason for each one.
Show me the message Pancake wrote for [name]. Make it shorter and open on their post.
Add [name] to my sequence.

This starts real outreach from your own account. Pancake tells Codex to do it only when you ask.
