Paste this into Codex
Set up Visual Sandbox (visualsandbox.com) in Codex so you can generate images, video and audio for me.

1. Add the server: codex mcp add visual-sandbox --url https://visualsandbox.com/mcp
2. Sign in: codex mcp login visual-sandbox — it opens the browser. Ask me before you approve anything on my behalf.
3. Confirm with codex mcp list. If visual-sandbox is not connected, stop and tell me what failed.
4. Do not generate anything yet. Every run costs credit, so ask me what to make, price it with estimate_cost, and wait for my yes.

Three ways in. The same models at the same price, whichever you pick.
