What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

It would be very beneficial if we could be able to see MCP status indicator (green dot, or similar), telling us if MCP is active and serving. Also, an ability to disable/enable configured MCP.

Additional information

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a feature to display the MCP status indicator and enable/disable functionality for configured MCP is likely the most straightforward fix.

Guidance

  • Review the existing CLI codebase to identify potential areas where the MCP status indicator can be integrated, such as the main dashboard or status page.
  • Investigate the current implementation of MCP configuration to determine the best approach for adding enable/disable functionality.
  • Consider adding a new command or flag to the CLI to toggle MCP status, allowing users to easily manage their MCP configurations.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of displaying a visual indicator, such as a green dot, to represent the MCP status.

Notes

The lack of additional information about the current implementation and technical details of the CLI and MCP limits the specificity of these suggestions.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since there is no clear indication of a fixed version or existing solution, implementing a custom workaround to display the MCP status and enable/disable functionality is the most viable option.
