# Use Codex with WebMCP

> Work with Codex in your open Mint Project to build a Studio scene, animate a shot, and turn a render into a generated video.

**Access:** Signed in to Mint, with Site tools available in Codex

WebMCP lets Codex work directly with your open Mint page and signed-in session.
Ask it to build a Studio scene, animate a shot, render it, and attach the saved
video to Chat. You can review and adjust the same scene in Studio as you work.

## Open Mint in the built-in browser

**Access:** Signed in to Mint, with Site tools available in Codex

1. Use Codex in the latest desktop app and open [Mint](https://mint.gg) in its
   built-in browser.
2. Sign in to Mint and open the Project you want to use.
3. In the browser's address bar, open **Site tools**, then **Available site tools**
   to check that Mint's tools are available.

OpenAI currently supports Site tools with **GPT-5.6 Sol** and
**GPT-5.6 Terra**. Site tools are unavailable with **GPT-5.6 Luna** and in
Enterprise or Edu workspaces; availability also depends on rollout and the
current page. Check [OpenAI's Site tools guide](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/webmcp)
for current requirements.

You can ask Codex:

```text theme={null}
Inspect this Mint Project using WebMCP. Tell me what is in the Studio scene and whether you can animate it, render a video, and attach the render to Chat.
```

## Create and animate a scene

**Access:** Signed in to Mint, with Site tools available in Codex

Describe the objects, composition, camera movement, and duration. Tell Codex
whether to use the current scene or create a new one.

```text theme={null}
Using Mint's WebMCP tools, create a new scene in this Project for a perfume commercial. Place a simple bottle shape on a pedestal and create an 8-second camera move that slowly circles it. Keep the bottle centered. Save the scene and animation, then show me the shot before rendering.
```

Review the scene in Studio. Adjust it yourself or ask Codex for changes:

```text theme={null}
Move the camera closer and slow down the movement near the end. Save the updated animation.
```

For the manual steps, see [Build and animate the shot](/create-videos#build-and-animate-the-shot).

## Render and prepare the Chat prompt

**Access:** Signed in to Mint, with Site tools available in Codex

Once the shot looks right, ask Codex:

```text theme={null}
Render this animation, wait until the video is saved, and attach it to this Project's Chat. Draft a prompt asking Mint to turn the bottle into polished silver and the pedestal into weathered limestone, with warm evening light and realistic reflections. Use the render to guide the camera movement and timing. Show me the prompt before sending it.
```

Codex can perform the **Add to chat** handoff through WebMCP. The saved render
becomes a reference in the visible Chat draft. Attaching the render and drafting
the prompt do not start video generation.

Keep the Mint tab open while rendering. Ask Codex to confirm the render is
saved before continuing.

## Generate and review the video

**Access:** Signed in to Mint, with Site tools available in Codex

Review the attached render, prompt, and selected generation preset. Codex can
inspect or change the preset before sending; describing a higher-quality look
in the prompt does not change the selected preset.

Send the message yourself or tell Codex:

```text theme={null}
Send the prepared prompt with the attached render.
```

Mint follows the same Studio-reference workflow as a message you send yourself:
it creates an appearance **Preview**, then generates the video. When approval
is required, review or edit the Preview and click **Generate Video**. With
automatic generation enabled, Mint continues after the Preview is ready.

Studio rendering, appearance Previews, and video generation use Mint Credits.
Codex can check progress: a submitted prompt confirms that the message was
accepted, while a playable video confirms that generation has finished.

For another take, continue in the same Mint chat so the original references and
creative direction carry forward. See [Revise a generated video](/create-videos#revise-a-generated-video).

## If Site tools are unavailable

**Access:** Site tools availability depends on your Codex setup

Check that Mint is open in the desktop app's built-in browser, you are signed
in, and your Project is open. In **Settings → Browser → Permissions**, check
**Enable site tools**. Ask Codex to check the tools available on the current page
again after opening or switching Projects.

Tools belong to the open page. Closing it or navigating away can make them
unavailable. See [OpenAI's Site tools guide](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/webmcp)
for browser and model requirements, or follow the [manual video
workflow](/create-videos) in Mint.
