Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Usage Planner for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "usage-planner": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "usage-planner" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Usage Planner tools really show up.

Common questions

Is Usage Planner safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 17 days ago, and the latest version (0.2.7) reached the registry 22 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Usage Planner — Codex quota & reset planner

Know how much Codex to use today.

If you find it useful, a ⭐ star helps more people find it.

Runs in your browser · no sign-in · or ask Codex with the plugin

English · 中文简介

Usage Planner (formerly Codex4ever) is a planner for your OpenAI Codex weekly quota. It shows when your quota runs out at your current pace, whether a predicted extra reset is likely to arrive first, and when a banked reset is worth redeeming.

Unofficial; not affiliated with OpenAI. MIT licensed.

Pick a strategy

Ask once in Codex and the planner opens beside the chat. Pick a strategy and the plan changes: daily usage, refills and run-out points.

What it does

Timeline of your next two weeks — daily usage, remaining quota, run-out points, outages, normal refreshes and banked-reset uses, one column per day.
Extra-reset forecast — the chance of an automatic reset in the next 48 hours, the likely window, and a second reset conditioned on the first, built from public reset history and Tibo's public posts.
Five strategies — *Keep pace* (your current pace: see when quota runs out), *Keep available*, *Use it all* (empty quota just before the next refill), *Weekdays only*, *Weekend focus*.
Codex plugin — reads your local, signed-in quota and banked resets, plans in the conversation, and opens the same visual planner.

How it plans

A predicted reset is counted only when it is at least 60% likely before the refresh in effect, and it is placed at a conservative time (where it has most probably already happened), not at its single most likely hour. You can switch the count to 0, 1 or 2 on the timeline.
Every refill restarts the seven-day window — a banked reset, an extra reset or the normal refresh.
Banked resets: extras cover outages, earliest expiry first; the last one is kept for a real outage (24 h or more), and a bank about to expire can be used rather than wasted.
One rule everywhere: the website, the plugin page and the plugin's MCP tools always give the same plan for the same inputs.

The forecast is an uncalibrated model estimate, not a promise. Usage Planner never redeems a reset or spends credits for you.

Use it

Codex plugin (Node.js 20+ and a signed-in Codex app or CLI):

codex plugin marketplace add ItsOdeLeo/usage-planner

codex plugin add usage-planner@usage-planner

Start a new Codex chat and ask: *"Open quota planning."* Reading your quota is local and read-only; no separate API key is needed.

Other MCP clients (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and others): the same server is on npm as usage-planner and in the MCP Registry as io.github.ItsOdeLeo/usage-planner. Reading your quota still needs a signed-in Codex CLI on the same machine.

{ "mcpServers": { "usage-planner": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "usage-planner"] } } }

Website: usageplanner.com, no install. Enter your quota by hand; everything is calculated in your browser and your inputs are not sent anywhere.

Run locally:

npm install

npm run web # http://127.0.0.1:4173/ npm test

Data sources

Public reset data comes from Codex Resets, including the bundled offline archive (npm run archive:refresh). Thanks to its maintainer. With an optional X API token, Tibo's full timeline is read directly from X.

Development

Command	What it does
`npm run web`	Local site with live reset evidence (cached 30 minutes)
`npm run site:build`	Static site in `dist/`, evidence collected at build time
`npm run plugin:build`	Self-contained Codex plugin in `plugins/usage-planner/`
`npm run mcp`	MCP server from source
`npm run backtest:public`	Day-by-day replay of the forecast against public history

.github/workflows/deploy-site.yml rebuilds the static site every 30 minutes and deploys it to Cloudflare Pages. Optional settings (LLM classification of posts, X timeline access) are listed in .env.example; keys are only read at build time and never reach the browser.

Design and algorithm details: docs/technical-notes.zh.md (Chinese).

中文简介

Usage Planner（原名 Codex4ever）是 OpenAI Codex 每周额度的本地规划器：按你当前的速度显示额度什么时候用完、额外 reset 是否可能先到，以及备用 reset 什么时候值得用。预测的 reset 只在“正常刷新前发生的概率 ≥ 60%”时计入，并放在保守时刻；任何一次补满都会重新开始 7 天周期；备用默认至少保留一个。网页、插件页面和插件的 MCP 工具始终使用同一套规则。非官方工具，与 OpenAI 无隶属关系。详细设计见技术说明。
