Summary

The BioRender connector exposes icon and template search tools, but every call fails because the corresponding upstream MCP tools are not registered.

Environment

• Codex App: 26.623.101652
• Codex CLI: 0.142.5
• OS: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
• Plugin: biorender@openai-curated 1.0.2
• Plugin status: installed, enabled
• Connector ID: connector_691e3de0d2708191a6476a7b36e38779

Steps to reproduce

1. Install and enable the official BioRender plugin.
2. Connect and authorize BioRender.
3. Restart Codex and open a new conversation.
4. Ask BioRender to search for “breast cancer” or “breast tumor” icons.
5. The request fails.

Template search fails in the same way.

Actual result

MCP error -32602: Tool search-icons not found

MCP error -32602: Tool search-templates not found

Expected result

The connector should return matching BioRender icons or templates.

Troubleshooting already attempted

• Updated BioRender to version 1.0.2
• Confirmed the plugin is installed and enabled
• Disconnected and reauthorized the connector
• Fully restarted Codex
• Tested in a new conversation
• Tested multiple search queries

This appears to be a mismatch between the client-exposed tool schema and the tools registered by the upstream BioRender MCP service.
