Start with the goal that matches what you are trying to do.
- README — what WebCodex does and the difference between full use and a temporary trial
- Desktop installation — recommended Windows/macOS entry: Desktop + official OpenAI Secure Tunnel
- Full Setup — CLI, existing Server, Linux, and advanced regular Server + Runner setup
- AI-assisted setup — have an AI agent configure WebCodex using ordinary user language
- MCP — ChatGPT, Claude, and other MCP clients
- Quick Trial — temporarily try one repository with one
webcodex sharecommand
- Deployment — systemd/Docker, multi-user self-hosting, and long-lived operations
- Windows + OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel deep dive — independent Windows Server/Runner, Tunnel setup, and real troubleshooting notes
- Runner — Runner operations reference
- CLI — full command, configuration, and credential reference
- MCP — Bearer, query-token fallback, OAuth, private tunnel, and MCP protocol reference
- Authentication — detailed credential and authority boundaries
- Deployment — stable HTTPS origins, self-hosting, and production networking
- GPT Actions — optional OpenAPI-based Custom GPT integration
- Troubleshooting — installation, connection, runtime, and Runner problems
- Security — safe operating guidance and security model
- Architecture — how the major components fit together
- Coding Workflow — task bootstrap, guidance, validation, and closeout
- Native Tool Plugins — add Runner-local tools with any executable language and no MCP SDK
- Computer Use roadmap — semantic-first desktop automation direction and validation priorities
- Browser/CDP runtime architecture — first-class Browser domain, authority, lifecycle, stale fencing, and Phase 1 limits
