What issue are you seeing?
I have multiple MCP servers connected and most of them work fine. But two days ago, two of my MCP servers (Miro and OpenBrain) started prompting me for reconnection about every two hours. I reconnect them successfully and then two hours later, they both need reconnecting again. I had Codex CLI examine them and Codex said they looked healthy.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?
I'm not sure these MCP servers ever needed reconnecting before two days ago. My expectation is that they shouldn't need to be reconnected more often than once/month.
