Connect Whop Trends to Codex

Before you start

• Whop Trends Pro: $29/month or $228/year.
• An API key from https://whoptrends.com/dashboard/api-keys. Keys start with wt_.
• Each key allows 1,000 calls per UTC day.

Setup

1. 1. Create an API key

   Open https://whoptrends.com/dashboard/api-keys and create a key. Copy it now. The full key shows once.

2. 2. Put the key in an environment variable

   Codex reads the key from WHOP_TRENDS_API_KEY. Add this line to your shell profile, such as ~/.zshrc, so every new terminal has it.

   ~/.zshrc

   Copy

   export WHOP_TRENDS_API_KEY="wt_your_key_here"

3. 3. Add the server

   Open a new terminal and run this command. It writes the server to ~/.codex/config.toml.

   Terminal

   Copy

   codex mcp add whop-trends --url https://whoptrends.com/api/mcp --bearer-token-env-var WHOP_TRENDS_API_KEY

4. 4. Or edit config.toml

   Skip this step if you ran the command. To scope the server to one trusted project, use .codex/config.toml in that project.

   ~/.codex/config.toml

   Copy

   [mcp_servers.whop-trends]
   url = "https://whoptrends.com/api/mcp"
   bearer_token_env_var = "WHOP_TRENDS_API_KEY"

5. 5. Add the skills (optional)

   Skills tell Codex which Whop Trends tool fits a question. Run this in your repo.

   Terminal

   Copy

   for s in whop-market-research whop-product-analysis whop-competitive-intel; do
     mkdir -p .agents/skills/$s
     curl -fsSL https://whoptrends.com/api/skills/$s -o .agents/skills/$s/SKILL.md
   done

Check the connection

• Run codex mcp list. whop-trends is listed with its URL.
• In a Codex session, type /mcp. whop-trends is in the list of active servers.

First prompt

Use the whop-trends MCP server. List the 5 Whop products with the highest estimated monthly revenue. Then pull the daily history for the top one and tell me if it is growing.

Notes

• The Codex app and the IDE extension must also see WHOP_TRENDS_API_KEY. If you start them outside a terminal, they may not.
• Codex checks a new server for OAuth sign-in. Whop Trends does not offer sign-in yet, so you may see a login notice. The key still works.
• This guide covers the Codex CLI, the Codex app, and the IDE extension. It does not cover Codex cloud tasks.
