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.
Codex doesn’t officially support community plugins yet — only personal plugins you install yourself. The TapKit plugin is open source and ready to install, you just need to add it manually.

​
Setup

1. Clone the plugin: 
git clone https://github.com/Jootsing-Research/tapkit-plugins-codex.git
2. Install the plugin by following the Codex plugin installation docs. You’ll point Codex at the cloned plugin directory to register it as a personal 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:

If a phone is connected via the Mac app, you’ll see the screenshot.
