codex-as-mcp

中文版

Enable Claude Code, Cursor and other AI tools to call Codex for task execution. Plus/Pro/Team subscribers can maximize GPT-5 usage without additional costs.

Setup

1. Install Codex CLI

⚠️ Requires Codex CLI version >= 0.25.0

npm install -g @openai/codex@latest
codex login

# Verify version
codex --version

Important: This MCP server uses --sandbox flag that requires Codex CLI v0.25.0 or later. Earlier versions are not supported.

2. Configure MCP

Add to your .mcp.json: Safe Mode (Default):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codex": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["codex-as-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Writable Mode:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codex": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["codex-as-mcp@latest", "--yolo"]
    }
  }
}

Or use Claude Code commands:

# Safe mode (default)
claude mcp add codex-as-mcp -- uvx codex-as-mcp@latest

# Writable mode
claude mcp add codex-as-mcp -- uvx codex-as-mcp@latest --yolo

Tools

The MCP server exposes two tools:

• codex_execute(prompt, work_dir) - General purpose codex execution
• codex_review(review_type, work_dir, target?, prompt?) - Specialized code review

If you have any other use case requirements, feel free to open issue.

Safety

• Safe Mode: Default read-only operations protect your environment
• Writable Mode: Use --yolo flag when you need full codex capabilities
• Sequential Execution: Prevents conflicts from parallel agent operations
