Wrong wording: mcp [experimental] Run Codex as an MCP server and manage MCP servers

What version of Codex CLI is running?

The latest

What subscription do you have?

Plus

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.3-codex

What platform is your computer?

_No response_

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

What issue are you seeing?

Run this:

  codex --help | grep mcp
  mcp         [experimental] Run Codex as an MCP server and manage MCP servers
  mcp-server  [experimental] Run the Codex MCP server (stdio transport)

The description seems to be confusing. This would be better.

mcp [experimental] Manage external MCP servers for Codex

mcp-server [experimental] Start Codex as an MCP server (stdio)
