Add Adwave to Codex with the command below, then run the login command to sign in. Codex connects with OAuth, so you don't copy an API key. It's a developer tool, and it's the OpenAI route for launching campaigns when your ChatGPT plan can only read.

Server URL

https://waverunner.adwave.com/api/mcp

Steps

In a terminal, add the server:

codex mcp add adwave --url https://waverunner.adwave.com/api/mcp

codex mcp login adwave

Start a new Codex session so the tools load. In the Codex app, type /mcp to see the connection and select Authenticate if it asks.

Check that it works

Most apps need a new conversation or a reload before new tools appear. Then ask: "List my Adwave campaigns and their spend." A new account has none yet, and the assistant should say so without an error.

Limits

On a terminal without a browser, run codex mcp login adwave --no-browser and open the printed link. These commands are from OpenAI's Codex MCP docs, checked November 3, 2026.
As of the date above, Adwave isn't listed in the OpenAI plugin directory that Codex shares with ChatGPT, so you add it with this command.
Campaigns run in the US and Canada only, from $30 a day on a prepaid wallet. TikTok is opt-in early access. Pinterest is coming soon.
Every tool that spends is marked destructive, so the app asks first. Launching and resuming set the day aside, and what ran is charged the next morning. Top-ups happen on Stripe's hosted page, never in chat.
