Codex Octopus
Overview
Codex Octopus
One brain, many arms.
An MCP server that wraps the OpenAI Codex SDK, letting you run multiple specialized Codex agents — each with its own model, sandbox, effort, and personality — from any MCP client.
Why
Codex is powerful. But one instance does everything the same way. Sometimes you want a strict code reviewer in read-only sandbox. A test writer with workspace-write access. A cheap quick helper on minimal effort. A deep thinker on xhigh.
Codex Octopus lets you spin up as many of these as you need. Same binary, different configurations.
Quick Start
{
"mcpServers": {
"codex": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["codex-octopus"],
"env": {
"CODEX_SANDBOX_MODE": "workspace-write",
"CODEX_APPROVAL_POLICY": "never"
}
}
}
}
Key Features
- Multi-instance — run several agents with different configs simultaneously
- Per-invocation overrides — model, sandbox, effort, approval policy, cwd
- Session continuity — follow up on previous conversations via
_replytool - Factory wizard — generate
.mcp.jsonconfigs interactively - Security narrowing — sandbox and approval can only tighten per invocation
