Codex CLI 0.147.0 ships portable Agent Plugins with catalog search, an auto-approval flag, and MCP 2026-07-28 with paginated discovery
The August 7 Codex CLI release adds installable portable Agent Plugins searchable across local, personal, workspace, and remote catalogs, plus `--approve-for-me` for automatically reviewed approvals — OpenAI's parallel move to Anthropic's auto mode, landing the same week. It also upgrades to the MCP 2026-07-28 protocol with paginated discovery and non-blocking server startup, which matters for anyone whose agent startup stalls on a slow MCP server, and adds Cursor-managed skill import that syncs changes to imported Claude and Cursor conversations without duplicating them. The preceding 0.146.1 patch tightened automatic-review defaults specifically for cyber-capable models, a useful signal about where the approval-automation risk boundary is being drawn.
