Codex Control Plane MCP

Overview

Codex Control Plane MCP is a durable control plane for managing long-running Codex Desktop tasks through the Model Context Protocol. It lets AI assistants invoke Codex operations as callable tools, eliminating manual context switching and copy-pasting between applications.

The server runs locally as the Python package codex-control-plane-mcp, installed via uvx codex-control-plane-mcp. It communicates with MCP clients over stdio and requires no authentication or external credentials. Version v0.2.1 is available under the Apache-2.0 license, with source code at aresyn/codex-control-plane-mcp on GitHub, where it has received 121 stars.

Codex Control Plane MCP is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
