Troubleshooting Codex CLI MCP server visibility across repositories

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article discusses a hypothetical scenario where a Codex CLI MCP server, configured for one repository, unexpectedly appears when the CLI is launched in a different repository. The author suggests checking configuration scopes, specifically user-level settings in `~/.codex/config.toml` or project-specific overrides in `.codex/config.toml`, as a potential explanation. A troubleshooting checklist is provided, including verifying the CLI version, launch command, and distinguishing between configured and active servers, with an example of how to disable a server using `enabled = false` in the configuration file.
