The hex plugin is a Codex/ChatGPT plugin wrapper for the Hex ChatGPT app and MCP connector, described as providing "Hex workflows for searching projects and asking Hex Threads questions about workspace data." According to the plugin's README, it includes one Hex routing skill and a minimal .app.json connector manifest. Its primary command, hex, is meant to search existing Hex projects and use Hex Threads only when the user explicitly asks for Hex or an existing Hex workspace asset. The README specifies that create_thread and continue_thread are write actions requiring user confirmation and an appropriate Hex workspace context, and that Hex should not be used as the default owner for generic KPI reporting, dashboard creation, or notebook-backed analysis.
Overview
According to the Hex homepage, Hex is described as "the AI Analytics Platform where trust meets insight," a workspace combining agentic data notebooks, conversational self-serve (via Hex, Slack, or MCP), and shareable data apps/dashboards, all grounded in a shared context layer (semantic models, business rules, endorsed tables, and database metadata). It connects to data warehouses and lakehouses such as Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks, integrates with dbt, and supports GitHub/GitLab and orchestration tools like Airflow, Dagster, and Prefect.
What you can do with hex
- Search for existing Hex projects, dashboards, or data apps using search_projects
- Ask questions in an existing Hex Thread about workspace data when the user explicitly requests Hex
- Start a new Hex Thread with create_thread (a write action requiring user confirmation)
- Continue an existing Hex Thread with continue_thread (a write action requiring user confirmation)
- Not intended for generic company metrics, KPI reporting, dashboard creation, report generation, metric diagnostics, or notebook-backed analysis unless the user specifically asks to do the work in Hex
