osFoundry's MCP server uses polling for Codex CLI, not push

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author explores the design choice of osFoundry's MCP server, which uses a polling mechanism for its Codex CLI client rather than a push-based system. This polling approach is deemed suitable for command-line tools that are not constantly running, allowing the client to query for changes at its own pace using a sequence cursor. The article details the API calls involved, including `list_granted_resources`, `list_project_resources`, and `poll_resource_events`, and discusses the implications of rate limiting and the limited number of pollable resource types.
