I think this is the closest existing issue to #21384.

My request is specifically for making this interactive from /mcp, not only exposing config toggles. The flow I had in mind:

1. Type /mcp
2. Select an MCP server
3. Choose Reconnect, Enable, Disable, Remove, or Login/logout
4. Codex applies the change and refreshes status

Closing #21384 in favor of this issue so the feedback stays consolidated.

Hey @lancewillett ,

Thanks for replying. I am using codex v0.128.0. When I type /mcp, it gives an output of list of mcps currently convfigured. No option to select or displays status of the currently conifgured MCPs:

/mcp

That's pretty much about it. No option to select/enable/disable MCPs.

@akamalov Same, that's my feature request: make /mcp more interactive instead of a flat list. Other TUIs are much more friendly and actionable.
