OpenAI Codex adds plugin system with MCP server configuration support
OpenAI has shipped a plugin system for Codex that allows installable bundles packaging skills, app integrations, and MCP server configuration for reusable workflows. Plugins are available across the Codex app, CLI, and IDE extensions, and can be installed per-user or per-repository. The system supports both a curated public plugin directory and local plugin scaffolding via a built-in @plugin-creator skill. The inclusion of MCP server configuration as a first-class plugin component signals continued convergence on MCP as a standard for tool integration in agentic coding environments.
