CLI+App: /mcp does not show project-scoped mcp servers #23874

Description

@miraclebakelaser

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.513.31313 (2867)

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The /mcp command in both Codex App and CLI do not show project-scoped (.codex/config.toml) mcp servers. They only show global mcp servers.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Add an mcp server to a project's .codex/config.toml file. Open codex and run the /mcp command. The project-scoped server will not show in the list of servers. However, the agent can invoke the mcp server if you tell it to.

What is the expected behavior?

Project-scoped mcp servers should show up in the /mcp list of mcp servers.
