jif-oai ed80e5f558 mcp: surface profile migration guidance under --profile (#23890)
## Why

`codex --profile <name> mcp ...` should reach the same profile-v2
migration guard as runtime commands. Otherwise legacy
`[profiles.<name>]` users see the generic command-scope rejection
instead of the existing guidance to move settings into
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`.

## What

- Allow `codex mcp` through the `--profile` subcommand gate.
- Pass profile loader overrides into the MCP entry point only to
validate profile-v2 migration when a profile is present.
- Keep MCP add/remove/list/get/login/logout behavior otherwise
unchanged; this does not add profile-scoped MCP server management.
- Cover the legacy profile migration error for `codex --profile work mcp
list`.

## Testing

- `cargo test -p codex-cli`

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.
