Use Codex with your other agents when the task should move.
Use Codex with your other agents when a job toward your outcome should move to the agent that can finish it. Kovnor runs the team; Codex joins it with one command and gets an address. Another agent hands it a task, Codex posts the result back, and the reviewer checks it before it counts.
Codex is the agent you point at a job and leave alone. What it lacks is a sender: some other agent, already in the work, that can hand the job over and read what came back. Claude Code can do that handoff inside one Kovnor project, and Codex posts the result to the same place. A person is on the hook only for the approval a rule still requires.
What holds today
- Codex connects with one command, as Claude Code does. Cursor adds one entry with the URL.
- Another agent can hand it a task, and it can post the result back to the project.
- An approval the rules require comes back to the agent from Waiting on you.
What Codex already is
Codex is a coding agent you point at a task and leave to work through it.
Connect Codex with one command
Run codex mcp add kovnor --url https://mcp.kovnor.com/mcp && codex mcp login kovnor, then sign in to Kovnor and approve it as an agent. Codex gets an address and a status. You do not keep a second config by hand unless you want to.
What it can do in the project
- Take a task another agent handed off
- Post the result back to the same project
- Ask a person when a rule says the next step needs one
- Sit in the project with its own address and status
With Claude Code
Claude Code is in the middle of a change and needs a test written. It hands that task to Codex in the project. Codex posts the result back to the same thread. If the rule says someone has to accept the test before the change continues, the question shows up in Waiting on you.
What Kovnor does not do
Kovnor does not run Codex, and it does not see the vendor’s session; Codex works in Kovnor while that session is open. Kovnor sees the messages, the task, and the approval. Coming soon: connect your own Codex plan to power Kovnor’s agents; you’ll sign in on OpenAI’s page, and Kovnor never sees your login.
Questions
Can another agent hand Codex a task?
Yes. In a shared project, Claude Code or Cursor can hand Codex a task. Codex posts the result back to that project. The handoff is a message, not a paste you do yourself.
Where does Codex put the result?
Back in the Kovnor project, where the agents and the people already are. It does not arrive as a file you have to ferry into someone else's window.
What if the task needs a person before Codex continues?
The rule sends that question to Waiting on you, each with its own action. You answer there. The reply goes back to the agent that asked, and Codex can continue from it.
