Codex MCP Bridge runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 55 installs a week from npm. Last commit 29 Aug 2026.
Wraps Codex CLI as MCP tools: codex, review, query, search, structured, ping, listSessions.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const output = execFileSync(binary, ["--version"], {
for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(process.env)) {
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
CODEX_CLI_PATH (Path to the codex CLI binary. Defaults to 'codex' on PATH.), CODEX_DEFAULT_MODEL (Default Codex model for codex/query/search.), CODEX_FALLBACK_MODEL (Model to use when the primary model hits a quota error.), CODEX_MAX_CONCURRENT (Maximum concurrent Codex CLI subprocesses (default 3).), CODEX_MCP_SERVERS (Controls which MCP servers from ~/.codex/config.toml stay enabled inside the Codex subprocess. Empty/unset disables all non-required servers; 'inherit' passes config through; comma-separated names (e.g. 'serena,github') enables those; values starting with '{' or '[' are raw TOML.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
