@alexmahrou We tested this with codex and it still had issues. Perhaps there's some nuance about your setup that made it work for you? Can you please share a screen recording? We'd love to make it work with Codex. |

Summary
There are around 10's of millions of ChatGPT Plus users who now have the ability to sign in with their ChatGPT Credentials in the Codex CLI at no additional cost or API token hit. Providing compatibility with this platform will provide another onramp into QC Ecosystem. The changes tighten every tool’s input schema so it is a Draft‑07 JSON object with additionalProperties: false and no "integer" types. By returning schemas that conform to the same spec most MCP clients expect, OpenAI’s Codex, Anthropic’s Claude, and any other MCP-compliant client can parse arguments deterministically without needing client‑specific shims or guessing field types. This reduces “missing field 'type'” errors and ensures consistent validation for all clients, not just Codex.
I've tested this branch locally with Codex CLI and it works.
