im trying to run litellm proxy using codex-cli and looks like it only support mcp servers in json rpc formats? litellm sends requests in http with auth headers. this works fine with node-based codex cli.
can you let us know how you have mcp servers configured so that we can file a PR accordingly?

openai api key being our litellm proxy key
openai base url = litellm proxy url
Apologies, we can't provide specific support for litellm right now, suggest to read through the code and try and debug the issue and send a PR with a fix if something is indeed an issue with the implementation. Thanks!
