Skip the Official MCP: Have Codex Access X via a Headless Browser
bookwormengr · x · 2026-09-15
Responding to a call for an official X MCP with DM read access, a user suggests a workaround: skip the wait and have Codex access X through a headless browser (no pop-ups), or even build your own MCP that wraps X via headless browsing with stored credentials. The main risk: X may detect the headless signature and block it, as some sites dislike headless access.
