What is grok-plugin-codex?

A local MCP server that operates the Grok command-line tool within an explicitly scoped workspace. It also supports private background jobs that can safely restart.

It is for running Grok-related command-line work and managing restart-safe background jobs from a coding-agent session.

It gives a coding agent a defined way to use Grok CLI while keeping workspace and job state separate.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/handong66/grok-plugin-codex

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `node` runs a file from the repository, so clone it first and make the path in the command match where you put it.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode.

Security

Grade A, and why

grok-plugin-codex scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
