This PR adds a central `AuthManager` struct that manages the auth
information used across conversations and the MCP server. Prior to this,
each conversation and the MCP server got their own private snapshots of
the auth information, and changes to one (such as a logout or token
refresh) were not seen by others.
This is especially problematic when multiple instances of the CLI are
run. For example, consider the case where you start CLI 1 and log in to
ChatGPT account X and then start CLI 2 and log out and then log in to
ChatGPT account Y. The conversation in CLI 1 is still using account X,
but if you create a new conversation, it will suddenly (and
unexpectedly) switch to account Y.
With the `AuthManager`, auth information is read from disk at the time
the `ConversationManager` is constructed, and it is cached in memory.
All new conversations use this same auth information, as do any token
refreshes.
The `AuthManager` is also used by the MCP server's GetAuthStatus
command, which now returns the auth method currently used by the MCP
server.
This PR also includes an enhancement to the GetAuthStatus command. It
now accepts two new (optional) input parameters: `include_token` and
`refresh_token`. Callers can use this to request the in-use auth token
and can optionally request to refresh the token.
The PR also adds tests for the login and auth APIs that I recently added
to the MCP server.
The existing `wire_format.rs` should share more types with the
`codex-protocol` crate (like `AskForApproval` instead of maintaining a
parallel `CodexToolCallApprovalPolicy` enum), so this PR moves
`wire_format.rs` into `codex-protocol`, renaming it as
`mcp-protocol.rs`. We also de-dupe types, where appropriate.

This adds a new request type, `SendUserTurn`, that makes it possible to
submit a `Op::UserTurn` operation (introduced in #2329) to a
conversation. This PR also adds a new integration test that verifies
that changing from `AskForApproval::UnlessTrusted` to
`AskForApproval::Never` mid-conversation ensures that an elicitation is
no longer sent for running `python3 -c print(42)`.

I still see flakiness in
`test_shell_command_approval_triggers_elicitation()` on occasion where
`MockServer` claims it has not received all of its expected requests.
I recently introduced a similar type of test in #2264,
`test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow()`, which I have not seen flake
(yet!), so this PR pulls over two things I did in that test:
- increased `worker_threads` from `2` to `4`
- added an assertion to make sure the `task_complete` notification is
received
Honestly, I'm still not sure why `MockServer` claims it sometimes does
not receive all its expected requests given that we assert that the
final `JSONRPCResponse` is read on the stream, but let's give this a
shot.
Assuming this fixes things, my hypothesis is that the increase in
`worker_threads` helps because perhaps there are async tasks in
`MockServer` that do not reliably complete fully when there are not
enough threads available? If that is correct, it seems like the test
would still be flaky, though perhaps with lower frequency?
This updates `CodexMessageProcessor` so that each notification it sends
for a `EventMsg` from a `CodexConversation` such that:
- The `params` always has an appropriate `conversationId` field.
- The `method` is now includes the name of the `EventMsg` type rather
than using `codex/event` as the `method` type for all notifications. (We
currently prefix the method name with `codex/event/`, but I think that
should go away once we formalize the notification schema in
`wire_format.rs`.)
As part of this, we update `test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow()` to
verify that the `task_finished` notification has made it through the
system instead of sleeping for 5s and "hoping" the server finished
processing the task. Note we have seen some flakiness in some of our
other, similar integration tests, and I expect adding a similar check
would help in those cases, as well.
This introduces a new set of request types that our `codex mcp`
supports. Note that these do not conform to MCP tool calls so that
instead of having to send something like this:
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "tools/call",
"id": 42,
"params": {
"name": "newConversation",
"arguments": {
"model": "gpt-5",
"approvalPolicy": "on-request"
}
}
}
```
we can send something like this:
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "newConversation",
"id": 42,
"params": {
"model": "gpt-5",
"approvalPolicy": "on-request"
}
}
```
Admittedly, this new format is not a valid MCP tool call, but we are OK
with that right now. (That is, not everything we might want to request
of `codex mcp` is something that is appropriate for an autonomous agent
to do.)
To start, this introduces four request types:
- `newConversation`
- `sendUserMessage`
- `addConversationListener`
- `removeConversationListener`
The new `mcp-server/tests/codex_message_processor_flow.rs` shows how
these can be used.
The types are defined on the `CodexRequest` enum, so we introduce a new
`CodexMessageProcessor` that is responsible for dealing with requests
from this enum. The top-level `MessageProcessor` has been updated so
that when `process_request()` is called, it first checks whether the
request conforms to `CodexRequest` and dispatches it to
`CodexMessageProcessor` if so.
Note that I also decided to use `camelCase` for the on-the-wire format,
as that seems to be the convention for MCP.
For the moment, the new protocol is defined in `wire_format.rs` within
the `mcp-server` crate, but in a subsequent PR, I will probably move it
to its own crate to ensure the protocol has minimal dependencies and
that we can codegen a schema from it.

- Expose mcp_protocol from mcp-server for reuse in tests and callers.
- In MessageProcessor, detect structured ToolCallRequestParams in
tools/call and forward to a new handler.
- Add handle_new_tool_calls scaffold (returns error for now).

Because of a quirk of how implementation tests work in Rust, we had a
number of `#[allow(dead_code)]` annotations that were misleading because
the functions _were_ being used, just not by all integration tests in a
`tests/` folder, so when compiling the test that did not use the
function, clippy would complain that it was unused.
This fixes things by create a "test_support" crate under the `tests/`
folder that is imported as a dev dependency for the respective crate.
1. Added an elicitation for `approve-patch` which is very similar to
`approve-exec`.
2. Extracted both elicitations to their own files to prevent
`codex_tool_runner` from blowing up in size.
This PR introduces a single integration test for `cargo mcp`, though it
also introduces a number of reusable components so that it should be
easier to introduce more integration tests going forward.
The new test is introduced in `codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/elicitation.rs`
and the reusable pieces are in `codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common`.
The test itself verifies new functionality around elicitations
introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1623 (and the fix
introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1629) by doing the
following:
- starts a mock model provider with canned responses for
`/v1/chat/completions`
- starts the MCP server with a `config.toml` to use that model provider
(and `approval_policy = "untrusted"`)
- sends the `codex` tool call which causes the mock model provider to
request a shell call for `git init`
- the MCP server sends an elicitation to the client to approve the
request
- the client replies to the elicitation with `"approved"`
- the MCP server runs the command and re-samples the model, getting a
`"finish_reason": "stop"`
- in turn, the MCP server sends the final response to the original
`codex` tool call
- verifies that `git init` ran as expected
To test:
```
cargo test shell_command_approval_triggers_elicitation
```
In writing this test, I discovered that `ExecApprovalResponse` does not
conform to `ElicitResult`, so I added a TODO to fix that, since I think
that should be updated in a separate PR. As it stands, this PR does not
update any business logic, though it does make a number of members of
the `mcp-server` crate `pub` so they can be used in the test.
One additional learning from this PR is that
`std::process::Command::cargo_bin()` from the `assert_cmd` trait is only
available for `std::process::Command`, but we really want to use
`tokio::process::Command` so that everything is async and we can
leverage utilities like `tokio::time::timeout()`. The trick I came up
with was to use `cargo_bin()` to locate the program, and then to use
`std::process::Command::get_program()` when constructing the
`tokio::process::Command`.
