MCP server don’t seem to work with Codex?

Feature Requests

Hi,

I’ve added the zotero-mcp server to BoltAI.

Using ChatGPT with the API works fine, it sees the server. But for some reason the exact same model, when connected via my Codex account, can’t see the server. Is this a bug?

Thank you!

Device: macOS 26.2

Version: 2.6.1 build 51

    This is a known issue. As you probably already know, Codex doesn’t work the same way as the official API. The codex CLI used to support only a limited number of tools: shell, update_plan etc. Only recently they added support for MCP and custom tools.

    I was able to integrate with custom MCP servers locally and will release a new version soon.

      Hi Daniel,

      I’m not that familiar with how these API work, I’m mostly developing scientific computational models. But glad to hear you were able to integrate these locally!

      I’ll let you know how it goes after the update.

      Thanks for the hard work on BoltAI! It’s a really great tool.

        I think this is implemented. Can you confirm?
