SpritesAdd Sprites to Codex
Available on Anywhere Codex CLI runs — a ChatGPT plan that includes Codex, or an API key. You need a Sprites account with Google Business Profile already connected — the connector acts on that connection, so Codex never handles a GBP credential.
Add the server
One command writes the entry into ~/.codex/config.toml for you.
Terminalcodex mcp add sprites --url https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcpOr write the config by hand
The same entry in ~/.codex/config.toml, or in .codex/config.toml inside a trusted project when you want the connector scoped to one repo.
~/.codex/config.toml[mcp_servers.sprites] url = "https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcp" auth = "oauth"Sign in
Codex opens a browser for the Sprites consent screen and stores the token locally. Sprites supports dynamic client registration and client ID metadata documents, so there is nothing to pre-register.
Terminalcodex mcp login spritesApprove changes by name
Codex renders results as text, so a pending change comes back written out rather than as a card you can click. Nothing is applied until you approve it, and the approval waits for you in Sprites — open it there and the same run continues.

Run the first prompt
Ask Codex this. It routes to a Sprites door, which reads your Google Business Profile account and answers — no account to name, no confirmation to give first.
- With Sprites, how did each of our locations perform in local search last month?
- Ask Sprites which of our listings are missing hours, categories or photos.
- Use Sprites to draft a seasonal post for the Portland location.
- Have Sprites list every location and what each one is missing.
- With Sprites, which searches are surfacing our Austin store?
Run `codex mcp list` and confirm sprites shows as connected.
What Codex can do with Google Business Profile
The same doors, whichever client you are in. Marketing work that belongs in a commit: Codex can read the landing page it is about to ship and brief Sprites on the campaign pointing at it, in one session.
Performance per location
Views, searches, calls and direction requests for each listing, not one rolled-up number.
Find the listings that are incomplete
Missing hours, wrong category, no photos — the fields that quietly keep a location out of the map pack.
Post without the tab
Updates and offers drafted per location and published on approval.
Pin a location and stay there
Multi-location accounts pin to one listing for a conversation, so an answer never silently switches store.
See which searches find you
The queries surfacing each listing, so the category and description can be argued from data.
Join it to the ads
Local performance next to the local campaigns spending against it, in one connector.
How approvals work here
Codex renders tool results as text, so a GBP change comes back written out rather than as a card. Nothing is applied until you approve it, and the approval waits for you in Sprites — open it there and the same run continues.
What it reads
- Every location on the account and its profile fields
- Views, searches, calls, direction requests and photo views
- The queries surfacing each listing
- Reviews and their ratings
What it can change
- Posts, updates and offers, per location
- Profile fields: hours, categories, description, attributes
- Each one approved before it publishes
When it does not work in Codex
Three things go wrong in this client specifically, and each has a one-line fix.
Codex says the tool is not found.
The config was edited while a session was open. Restart Codex — it reads config.toml at startup.
Login loops without ever completing.
The OAuth callback defaults to http://127.0.0.1/callback. If something else on the machine holds that port, set mcp_oauth_callback_url in config.toml and log in again.
Codex says a change was applied and nothing happened in the account.
It was proposed, not applied — that is the design. The approval is waiting in Sprites; open it there and the run continues from where it stopped.
Google Business Profile and Codex: questions
Which URL do I paste into Codex?
https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcp. There is one endpoint and every client uses it — every OAuth grant is bound to exactly that address, so a variant of it will not be honoured.
Can Codex change my Google Business Profile account without asking?
Codex renders tool results as text, so a GBP change comes back written out rather than as a card. Nothing is applied until you approve it, and the approval waits for you in Sprites — open it there and the same run continues.
Do I need a Google Business Profile API key or developer token?
No. Google Business Profile is connected once inside Sprites through Google Business Profile, and the connector acts on that connection. Codex never sees a credential for it.
Why Codex for Google Business Profile specifically?
Marketing work that belongs in a commit: Codex can read the landing page it is about to ship and brief Sprites on the campaign pointing at it, in one session.
Does it handle more than one location?
Yes. Multi-location accounts list every location, report per location, and pin to one for the length of a conversation so an answer cannot drift to the wrong store.
Can it reply to reviews?
It reads reviews and can draft a reply, but the reply publishes only on your approval — a review response is not something to automate blind.
Keep going
The same Codex connector reaches every other channel — nothing else to add.
