Folks at Codex...can you take some lessons from Claude CLI and implement some better formatting and UX in your CLI?
I was looking to see how I can activate an MCP...in Claude Code, it is easy by doing /mcp. In Codex, its a disaster. Look at this image..like who designed this? Fire them.

I have no idea how I can activate the mcps in Codex CLI. And why does it say unsupported Auth? Like what gives?

If you think that's bad, you should see how bad support via email is. You'll have a back and forth with an AI called Rhea that will make the wildest requests to you on the web to compare with the desktop even though there are no options for it on the web. And conversation is on a loop as it'll ask for the same stuff again - you'll never hear from a human. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
