Need tool access, not a coding agent?
DataFaucet gives Claude and Cursor access to any app in 60 seconds.
OpenAI Codex takes a coding task, clones your repo into a sandboxed environment, writes code, runs tests, and produces a PR. It has no internet access and operates entirely on source code.
DataFaucet creates live connections between AI agents and external applications. When Claude needs to check your Stripe dashboard, query your CRM, or interact with an internal tool, DataFaucet provides the MCP server that makes it possible.
They solve unrelated problems. Codex writes code autonomously. DataFaucet gives your interactive AI sessions access to real-world tools and data. You might use both: Codex for coding tasks, DataFaucet for everything else your AI needs to touch.
They create demand. We create supply.
