Codex is a coding assistant that runs on your computer and writes and runs code for you. Connected to Ploti, it can download official parcel, zoning and permit records for your counties and build with them: a screening script, say, or a data pipeline. It can also show results on a Ploti map. There are two ways to connect it, and you can use both:
  • The CLI (Ploti’s command-line tool) and its Python library let Codex download Ploti’s data onto your computer and work on it there.
  • MCP, the standard way AI tools plug in outside services, adds Ploti’s map tools, so it can save results on a Ploti map you open in the app.
Install the CLI, sign in once, and give Codex Ploti’s skills, short instruction files that teach it the commands.
Terminal
Then ask Codex for the data you need. It finds it with ploti datasets search, reads it with ploti datasets rows, and downloads a dataset with ploti datasets download as GeoParquet, a table format most data tools read.Try: Use Ploti to pull the building permits for Orange County, Florida, and count them by month.Keys and setup covers the CLI and the Python library, and Find datasets, Read rows and Download a dataset explain what it can do.
