What is DesignerBox for Codex?

It connects OpenAI Codex to your DesignerBox workspace through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You ask Codex for product photos, ads and videos in plain words, and DesignerBox makes them, using the brand you pick.

How do I connect DesignerBox to Codex?

Copy the DesignerBox MCP server URL, add it to OpenAI Codex as an HTTP MCP server, then sign in to your DesignerBox account. After that, ask for what you need in plain words.

What can I make from Codex?

Product photos, ads, clothes on a model, background removal, new camera angles and short videos. Every plan can make pictures from the chat, and each run uses credits. Video and virtual try-on start on the Premium plan.

Do I pay for each AI model?

No. Connecting is free, and the models are built in. A run uses the credits of your DesignerBox plan, and the cost depends on the model and the job.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes, from the Pro plan up. Pro, Premium and Ultra include the commercial licence, so you can use the results in ads, product listings and client work. Free and Basic do not.

Can I stop Codex from using my account?

Yes. In DesignerBox, open Settings, then AI chat (MCP). It lists every connected chat, and you can remove access at any time.
