Do I need an API key to connect Google Tasks to Codex?

No. You sign in to Google Tasks once through Metorial, and Codex uses that connection. No API keys go into Codex's settings.

Which Google Tasks tools can Codex use?

All 11 Google Tasks tools your team allows, such as List Task Lists, Update Task, List Tasks. Admins can narrow that list per team.

Can I control which teammates use Google Tasks in Codex?

Yes. Role-based access control decides who can use Google Tasks and which of its tools appear in Codex, and every call is logged with the person's identity.

1. Enable Google Tasks in Metorial
In your Metorial portal, enable the Google Tasks MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
2. Add the server and sign in
The Codex CLI, IDE extension and ChatGPT desktop app share this config.
```
codex mcp add metorial --url <your-magic-mcp-url>
codex mcp login metorial
```
3. Check the connection
Type /mcp in Codex to see Metorial and its Google Tasks tools.

Once Google Tasks is enabled in Metorial, teammates sign in with SSO and get the same connection in Codex, with only the tools their role allows.

One link covers every app you approve. See how the MCP gateway handles access, roles and audit logs for the whole company.

Limit which Google Tasks tools Codex sees with enabled_tools and disabled_tools on the metorial server in config.toml.
Set default_tools_approval_mode to auto, prompt, writes or approve. writes prompts only for tools that are not marked read-only.
Type /mcp in the composer to see the connected servers.
Override the approval behavior for a single Google Tasks tool with tools.<tool>.approval_mode.

Metorial is listed but tools are missing: Codex can connect without credentials and then see nothing. Run codex mcp login metorial to complete the OAuth sign-in.
Metorial times out at startup: Codex waits 10 seconds by default. Raise startup_timeout_sec under [mcp_servers.metorial] in ~/.codex/config.toml.
Long tool calls fail after a minute: The default tool timeout is 60 seconds. Raise tool_timeout_sec for the metorial server in config.toml.
