Codex Delegate

Overview

Codex Delegate is a Model Context Protocol server that bridges AI coding hosts to the OpenAI Codex CLI for delegated implementation. It works as an MCP server, integrating directly into AI assistants and exposing its functionality as tools that models can invoke on your behalf.

The server runs locally via the npm package codex-delegate-mcp, communicating over stdio on your machine. No authentication is required and it works immediately after installation. The latest release is v2.0.0, published under the MIT license with source code available at andreilungeanu/codex-delegate-mcp on GitHub.

Codex Delegate is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others.
