The TapKit plugin for Codex gives the agent iPhone control in your terminal. It installs an MCP server connection and a skill file that teaches Codex how to use the tools effectively.

​
Setup

This guide assumes you already have the Codex CLI installed. If you do not, follow OpenAI’s Codex CLI setup guide first.
1. Add the TapKit marketplace from your terminal: 
codex plugin marketplace add jootsing-research/tapkit-plugins-codex
2. Install the plugin: 
codex
/plugins
In the plugin directory, switch to the Tap Kit Plugins marketplace, open Tap Kit, and select Install plugin. 3. Authenticate — once the plugin is loaded, the TapKit MCP server will prompt you to sign in via your browser. 4. Verify it works: 
Take a screenshot of my phone
If a phone is connected via the Mac app, you’ll see the screenshot.

​
Upgrade

Refresh the TapKit marketplace when a new plugin version is available: 
codex plugin marketplace upgrade tapkit-plugins
tapkit-plugins is the Codex marketplace name from the marketplace metadata.

​
What’s in the plugin

The TapKit plugin bundles:
  • MCP server config — connects Codex to TapKit’s hosted MCP endpoint
  • Skills — teaches Codex how to use the coordinate system, screenshot loop, and gesture types
