Codex Pooler

Codex Pooler is a self hosted gateway for sharing Codex account capacity across trusted agents, tools and teams. Operators add upstream Codex accounts to Pools, issue stable Pool API keys to each client, and let the gateway route supported Codex backend requests and a narrow set of OpenAI style endpoints, so raw account secrets never have to sit on every workstation or automation host. It is built for small expert teams that already run trusted Codex accounts and want a safer coordination layer around them. Each tool gets its own key and limits, and requests go to an account with capacity available, chosen using account health, model support, quota evidence, policy and session continuity so resumable Codex sessions stay attached to the right upstream. Accounts can be rotated or paused without reconfiguring clients. Tools that only support paid API style Responses endpoints can run on Codex subscriptions through the OpenAI compatible interface without custom plugins. Request logs, audit logs and MCP tools expose sanitized metadata only, never prompts, files, tokens or cookies. Deployment options are Docker Compose for local use or a Helm chart with separate app, worker, scheduler and migration roles. No pricing is published and there is no pricing page; the project is distributed through GitHub, where versioned releases are posted, and the user runs it on their own infrastructure. The documentation is explicit that Codex Pooler is not a hosted provider, not a general OpenAI API clone and not a way around account terms or limits, and it tells operators to use only accounts they are permitted to use.
