shell

MCP tool from MCP Codex Worker by sorryorc

Run bounded worker-side commands with optional digest:true for test/build/lint output.

How to use it

Project documentation lists shell for the MCP Codex Worker MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
