Use Frontitude in ChatGPT and Codex

Connect Frontitude to your company's ChatGPT workspace to draft, review and reuse your team's approved copy in chats, and to use approved copy and string keys when Codex writes code. Set it up in ChatGPT's Plugins, or from the terminal if you work in the Codex CLI or IDE extension.

‍

‍

Before you start

  • Switch to your company's ChatGPT workspace (Business, Enterprise or Edu), not a personal account.
  • Choose where to set it up: chatgpt.com in a browser for ChatGPT chats, or your terminal for the Codex CLI and IDE extension. The mobile apps don't support setup.
  • Make sure AI tools integration is turned on in your Frontitude workspace from Settings → AI.

Connect Frontitude in ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, make sure your company workspace is selected, not a personal account.
  2. Open Plugins from the sidebar, click Add, then Add custom MCP server.
  3. Enter Frontitude as the name and, optionally, Our team's approved product copy as the description.
  4. Under Connection, enter https://mcp.frontitude.com/mcp.
  5. Set authentication to OAuth.
  6. Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin.
  7. Sign in to Frontitude with your work account and approve access.
  8. Review the tools ChatGPT found, and turn off any you don't need.

‍

Don't see Add custom MCP server? Your workspace admin controls who can add it. Send them the steps in For admins below.

‍

‍

Install through the CLI

Work in the Codex CLI or IDE extension? Add Frontitude from your terminal instead.

  1. Add the server:

codex mcp add frontitude --url https://mcp.frontitude.com/mcp

  1. Sign in to Frontitude:

codex mcp login frontitude

Your browser opens. Sign in to Frontitude with your work account and approve access. In a remote dev environment, container or VM without a browser, run codex mcp login frontitude --no-browser, open the link on your laptop, then paste the redirect URL back into the terminal.

  1. Check it's connected: run codex mcp list, or type /mcp inside Codex.

‍

The Codex CLI, IDE extension and desktop app share one configuration, so you only do this once. If your company manages Codex settings centrally, ask your admin to add this instead, then run step 2:

[mcp_servers.frontitude]
url = "https://mcp.frontitude.com/mcp"

‍

‍

Use it in a chat

Start a new conversation, type @, and select Frontitude. Mention it again in a follow-up when you need fresh copy or want it to make a change. ChatGPT asks you to confirm before any write action, like creating or editing copy.

‍

‍

Example prompts

  • Reuse past copy: "@Frontitude How have we worded 'payment failed' before?"
  • Draft on-brand copy: "@Frontitude Write onboarding copy for the new export feature using our terminology."
  • Review a screen: "@Frontitude Here's a screenshot. Check its copy against our approved copy."
  • Prepare for translation: "@Frontitude Which texts in the Checkout project still have no Spanish translation?"
  • Use approved copy in code (Codex): "Implement the settings page using the approved copy from Frontitude."
  • Replace hardcoded strings (Codex): "Find hardcoded UI strings in src/ and match them to Frontitude keys."
  • Check a branch's copy (Codex): "Review the strings in this branch against Frontitude and list any mismatches."

‍

‍

For admins: publish Frontitude to your workspace

Admins and owners can always add custom MCP servers. On Enterprise and Edu, they can also give members permission to add them through role-based access.

‍

To save your team the setup, add Frontitude once with the steps above, test it, then publish it to the workspace. Members then find it under Plugins, marked custom, and connect with their own Frontitude account. Turn off any tools your company doesn't want people to use before publishing.

‍

‍

If something doesn't work

  • I don't see Add custom MCP server — check you're in your company workspace. If it's still missing, ask your admin for permission or to publish Frontitude for everyone.
  • Frontitude shows the wrong workspace — you signed in with another Frontitude account. Disconnect, sign out of Frontitude in your browser, then connect again with your work account.
  • A save or edit seems to fail — ChatGPT may be waiting for your confirmation. Look for a pending approval in the chat.
  • A tool I need is missing — your admin may have turned it off for the workspace.
  • ChatGPT doesn't use Frontitude — start the message with @Frontitude.
  • /mcp doesn't list Frontitude — run codex mcp list to check the entry, then restart Codex.
  • CLI sign-in fails or times out — your network or proxy may block mcp.frontitude.com. Ask IT to allow it, then run codex mcp login frontitude again.
