What steps can reproduce the bug?

As the Title suggests, I migrated from Claude Code to Codex due to recent issues, however quickly realise the Codex is unable to use the playwright mcp or puppeteer to open a browser tab/window and navigate like a "user"? it can only write some scripts, but that is useless in my case as I need it to navigate and take snapshots/read errors.

Is this not possible currently or is there some limitation/workaround to get this working?

This is my config.toml:

# ---------- MCP servers ----------
[mcp_servers.context7]
command = "npx"
args    = ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.playwright-mcp]
command = "npx"
args    = ["-y", "playwright-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.puppeteer-mcp]
command = "npx"
args    = ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer"]
# -----------------------------------------

[mcp_servers.serena]
command = "uvx"
args = [
  "--from",
  "git+https://github.com/oraios/serena",
  "serena",
  "start-mcp-server",
  "--context",
  "ide-assistant",
  "--project",
  "$(pwd)"
]

What is the expected behavior?

To open a browser/chrome and navigate like a user
