Connect a coding agent to Minnas
Use Codex or another MCP-capable coding agent to configure your Workspace, publish help answers, and install Messenger with your approval.
Updated August 4, 2026
Before you start
Open your coding agent in the project you want to connect. It needs to support remote MCP servers and browser-based authorization. You also need an active Minnas Workspace that you own.
Give your coding agent this prompt
Paste this into the coding agent while it has your app open:
Use the Minnas setup skill at https://minnas.ai/skills/minnas-setup/SKILL.md
Connect to https://minnas.ai/mcp, inspect this app, and configure its Minnas Workspace. Install Messenger, run the relevant tests, and deploy only if I have already authorized deployment.
Your coding tool should open Minnas in a browser. Sign in or create an account, choose one Workspace, review the listed capabilities, and select Approve setup.
What happens after approval
- The agent inspects your app and uses the product language, routes, colors, policies, and deployment setup already in the project.
- It configures one Workspace, including branding, Messenger copy, knowledge-base answers, Guided flows, and AI reply settings.
- It installs Messenger and runs the relevant application tests.
- After an authorized deployment, Minnas verifies the exact Messenger script on each public hostname.
The connection can
- Configure Workspace details and branding
- Set up Messenger prompts and Guided flows
- Create and publish help answers
- Install and verify the Messenger script
- Turn automatic AI replies on or off
The connection cannot
- Read Inbox conversations or Customers
- Manage Teammates or billing
- Connect Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce
- Reveal saved provider credentials
- Deploy your app without your authorization
Review or revoke the connection
In your Workspace, open Settings, then Connected coding agents. You can review the connection and revoke access immediately.
Troubleshooting
If the approval page does not open, ask the coding agent to connect to https://minnas.ai/mcp as a remote MCP server.
If your Workspace is not listed, confirm that it is active and that you are its owner.
If website verification fails, deploy the exact Messenger script and verify every public hostname separately.
If the agent asks for a Minnas password or API key, stop. The supported connection uses browser approval and should not ask for saved credentials.
