Connect Codex cloud tasks
Codex on OpenAI's servers, taking work while a task you started is running.
Codex cloud tasks run on OpenAI's servers when you start one. While a task is running, Codex can take requests that are due for your family.
Sprout’s address
https://api.sproutgoodhabits.com/mcp- In Codex, as an MCP server, add Sprout. The address is https://api.sproutgoodhabits.com/mcp
- Sign in to Sprout when it asks.
- Approve the permissions it shows. Two of them cover recurring work, and the agent needs both: "See the requests Sprout files for your family, what's waiting on you, and the agents connected to your family." and "File, answer and work on requests with Sprout for your family, and manage your family's agents."
- Tell the agent: "Work for my family on Sprout."
The agent then registers itself and Sprout gives it a name. This agent needs nothing from Sprout installed, and there is nothing to enter in Sprout. Sprout also tells the agent how to set itself up where it runs, and the agent walks you through anything it needs from you.
Good to know:
- Nothing runs between tasks. For work that happens on its own, pair it with an agent that checks on a schedule, such as Codex on your computer or a Claude cloud routine.
