mcps
Small Rust CLI to enable, disable, remove, and list Codex MCP servers in your Codex config.
What it does
mcps edits MCP server entries under [mcp_servers.<name>] in a TOML config file.
- Default config path:
~/.codex/config.toml - Override config path:
--config /path/to/config.toml
Features
- Enable a configured MCP server
- Disable a configured MCP server
- Remove a configured MCP server
- List all configured MCP servers with status
- Writes updates safely via temp file + replace
Requirements
- Rust toolchain (
cargo) - A valid Codex config containing
[mcp_servers]
Installation
Option 1: Build + install script
./build.sh
This script:
- Builds release binary (
cargo build --release) - Installs
mcpsto~/.local/binby default - Prints whether your
PATHalready includes the install directory
Set a custom install directory:
MCPS_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/bin" ./build.sh
Option 2: Cargo install from local path
cargo install --path .
Usage
mcps list
mcps enable <name>
mcps disable <name>
mcps enable '*github*'
mcps disable 'cloud*'
mcps disable '*'
mcps remove <name>
mcps --config /path/to/config.toml list
Run help:
mcps --help
For enable and disable, * matches zero or more characters anywhere in a
server name. Matching is case-sensitive and covers the entire name; all other
characters are literal. Quote patterns to prevent your shell from expanding them.
Each command accepts one name or pattern and prints matched servers alphabetically,
including servers already in the requested state. remove accepts exact names only.
If no servers match, or any matched entry is invalid, the config is left unchanged.
Config expectations
Example config:
[mcp_servers.xcode]
command = "xcrun"
args = ["mcpbridge"]
enabled = true
Notes:
- If
enabledis missing for a server,listtreats it as enabled. enable/disablerequires the server to already exist in[mcp_servers].removedeletes the entire[mcp_servers.<name>]section.deleteis an alias.
Output examples
mcps list:
Name Status
xcode enabled
mcps disable xcode:
xcode disabled
mcps enable xcode:
xcode enabled
mcps remove xcode:
xcode removed
Error cases
You can get errors when:
[mcp_servers]section is missing- Requested server name is not found
enabledexists but is not boolean- Config file cannot be read, parsed, or replaced
Development
Build:
cargo build
Run tests:
cargo test
Install release build:
./build.sh
Troubleshooting
mcps: command not found: add install directory (for example~/.local/bin) toPATH.- Permission errors writing config: verify file ownership and directory permissions.
- TOML parse errors: validate your config syntax and table structure.
