What is krea-codex-plugin?

Krea for Codex is a plugin that connects the Codex desktop app or CLI to Krea, a service for generating and editing images and video with AI. Once installed, it lets you ask Codex to create images, animate them into short videos, apply your own custom styles called LoRAs, and enhance or upscale existing assets, all without leaving your coding tool. The plugin works through your own Krea account. When you install it, your browser opens Krea's page so you can approve access once, and after that the credentials are stored safely in your Mac's Keychain rather than in the plugin's code. Any images or videos you generate use the credits and plan you already have with Krea, so there is no separate API key or extra bill to manage. Under the hood, the plugin reads Krea's current list of available models directly, so it always reflects what is actually offered instead of an outdated list. Long jobs, like generating a video, are handled in the background: the plugin keeps track of the job's ID and can wait for it to finish, which avoids accidentally starting the same generation twice while waiting. Setup requires a Mac running the Codex app with plugins turned on, plus Node.js version 20 or newer. Installation is done through two commands in Codex's plugin manager, followed by fully quitting and reopening the app so the new tools and icon load correctly. The README includes troubleshooting steps for cases where the plugin's icon does not appear correctly or where the initial authorization does not complete, along with commands to check installation status or remove the plugin entirely. This is a small, personal project built by one developer for their own use of Krea inside Codex, not an official product from Krea itself. It currently has very few stars and is aimed at people who already use both Codex and Krea and want to combine the two without manual steps.
