## What it is
ChatMock is a Python tool that exposes OpenAI- and Ollama-compatible API endpoints backed by a ChatGPT/Codex account login. It runs a local server so any chat app or coding tool supporting those APIs can use Codex models.

## Use cases
- use my ChatGPT/Codex subscription in Raycast AI chat
- connect Codex models to any OpenAI-compatible coding tool
- serve an Ollama-compatible endpoint backed by ChatGPT
- run a local OpenAI API proxy on 127.0.0.1:8000
- use Codex models in agentic terminal tools like Terax
- expose gpt-5 models to third-party chat apps

## When to choose
- you have a ChatGPT/Codex account and want to use it in tools that only speak the OpenAI or Ollama API
- you want a local, self-hosted proxy server rather than paying for separate API keys
- you use tools like Raycast or terminal agents that support OpenAI-compatible providers

## When to avoid
- you need official OpenAI API features like fine-tuning, embeddings, or batch jobs
- you don't have a ChatGPT account and prefer standard pay-per-token API access
- you need production-grade multi-tenant serving rather than a personal local proxy
