MCP tool from MCP Codex Worker by sorryorc

Start an async Claude Code job in an allowed directory. Supports optional sequential stages.

How to use it

Project documentation lists start 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.
