What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.22.0

Which model were you using?

_No response_

What platform is your computer?

Windows + WSL

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When starting codex by npx codex on Powershell (windows terminal), it automatically move to wsl terminal. (ie. codex runs on wsl)
but, it seems that mcp servers are started on on host OS so that codex gets request timed out error.

it's nice to have mcp servers also moved to wsl automatically.

What is the expected behavior?
