What version of Codex is running?

0.34.0

Which model were you using?

high

What platform is your computer?

wsl

What steps can reproduce the bug?

codex-cli successfully connects and works with Burp MCP. However, after the first commands that run successfully (create_repeater_tab for example), it stops working. It cannot connect to burp anymore:

And the bigger issue is that you have to quit and restart codex to make it run. Thus, you lose all your work since there are no sessions.

What is needed:

  • ability to restart the mcp server within codex. we need a well rounded /mcp menu, not just listing the actual mcp.
  • sessions

Of course, we also need memory, but the two above would dramatically increase the user experience and also fix this issue.

What is the expected behavior?
