Summary
In Codex desktop on macOS, the Lucid connector can create and export a document, and the generated Lucid web link opens correctly. The inline Codex preview card fails with:
Unable to load document
Error loading preview: MCP proxy request failed
Environment
- App: Codex desktop
- OS: macOS
- Connector: Lucid
- Test document: newly created dummy Lucidchart document
Steps To Reproduce
- In Codex desktop, use the Lucid connector to create a diagram.
- Wait for the generated connector result card to render in the thread.
- Open the generated Lucid edit URL in a browser.
- Export the same Lucid document page through the Lucid MCP tool.
Expected Behavior
Codex should render the Lucid document in the inline preview card, or show a useful recoverable preview state.
Actual Behavior
The inline preview card fails with:
Unable to load document
Error loading preview: MCP proxy request failed
The generated Lucid web URL opens correctly, and the Lucid connector can export the same document as a PNG.
Evidence
- Lucid create diagram returned
canEdit: true. - Generated Lucid web edit URL works.
lucid_export_document_as_pngfor page 1 works and renders the diagram.- The Codex app preview card is the only failing surface.
- Full document ID and thread context are available in the

Notes
This looks like a Codex desktop preview/proxy issue rather than a Lucid auth or connector execution issue.
