## Why `codex-mcp` already owns the shared MCP API surface, including `auth`, `McpConfig`, `CODEX_APPS_MCP_SERVER_NAME`, and tool-name helpers in [`codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs`](f61e85dbfb/codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs (L1-L35)). Re-exporting that surface from `codex_core::mcp` gives downstream crates two import paths for the same API and hides the real crate dependency. This PR keeps `codex_core::mcp` focused on the local `McpManager` wrapper in [`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`](f61e85dbfb/codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs (L13-L40)) and makes consumers import shared MCP APIs from `codex_mcp` directly. ## What - Remove the `codex_mcp::mcp` re-export surface from `core/src/mcp.rs`. - Update `codex-core` internals plus `codex-app-server`, `codex-cli`, and `codex-tui` test code to import MCP APIs from `codex_mcp::mcp` directly. - Add explicit `codex-mcp` dependencies where those crates now use that API surface, and refresh `Cargo.lock`. ## Verification - `just bazel-lock-check` - `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-cli -p codex-tui` - `codex-cli` passed. - `codex-core` still fails five unrelated config tests in `core/src/config/config_tests.rs` (`approvals_reviewer_*` and `smart_approvals_alias_*`). - A broader `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-cli -p codex-tui` run previously hung in `codex-app-server` test `in_process_start_uses_requested_session_source_for_thread_start`.
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
