  • Native resume using codex resume (CLI v0.36.0+)
  • Local OSS model support via Ollama or LM Studio
  • Sandboxed code execution with --full-auto
  • Structured brainstorming with SCAMPER framework

Use cases of Codex MCP Server

  • Analyze code architecture by referencing files via @src/
  • Conduct multi-turn code review sessions using session IDs

  • Use local models for code analysis without sending data to OpenAI

FAQ from Codex MCP Server

What are the runtime dependencies?

Node.js 18+ and a locally installed and authenticated Codex CLI are required.

How do I configure multi-turn conversations?

Pass a sessionId parameter in your prompt. Sessions persist for 24 hours by default (configurable via CODEX_SESSION_TTL_MS), with a maximum of 50 sessions.

What models are supported?

By default the CLI’s configured model is used. You can override with model names like gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, or use local OSS models via localProvider: "ollama" or "lmstudio".

Where does session data live?

Session data is stored locally on your machine under the Codex CLI workspace; no data is sent to external servers except through your chosen model provider.

What CLI versions are compatible?

Features work best with Codex CLI v0.36.0+ (sessions), v0.52.0+ (search), and v0.59.0+ (add-dirs, token limits).
