## Summary
- When a user accepts an MCP elicitation request, send `content:
Some(json!({}))` instead of `None`
- MCP servers that use elicitation expect content to be present when
action is Accept
- This matches the expected behavior shown in tests at
`exec-server/tests/common/lib.rs:171`
## Root Cause
In `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`, the `resolve_elicitation` function
always sent `content: None`:
```rust
let response = ElicitationResponse {
action,
content: None, // Always None, even for Accept
};
```
## Fix
Send an empty object when accepting:
```rust
let content = match action {
ElicitationAction::Accept => Some(serde_json::json!({})),
ElicitationAction::Decline | ElicitationAction::Cancel => None,
};
```
## Test plan
- [x] Code compiles with `cargo check -p codex-core`
- [x] Formatted with `just fmt`
- [ ] Integration test `accept_elicitation_for_prompt_rule` (requires
MCP server binary)
Fixes #9053
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
