Codex CLI 0.134.0: Search History, Profile Overhaul, MCP Upgrades
Codex CLI 0.134.0 ships conversation search, makes --profile the standard selector (goodbye legacy configs), and hardens MCP with per-server environments, OAuth, and parallel tool execution. Windows TUI rendering and remote reliability also fixed.
TL;DR
- Local conversation history search with case-insensitive matching and previews
--profilebecomes the standard profile selector; legacy configs now rejected with migration guidance- MCP improvements: per-server environments, OAuth support, parallel read-only tool execution, better schema handling
- Windows TUI rendering fixed; remote reliability hardened with websocket reconnection and stream retries
New
- Conversation history search — Find past exchanges with case-insensitive content matching and result previews built in.
--profileas primary selector — Unified profile selection across CLI, TUI, and sandbox flows. Legacy profile v1 configs now rejected with clear migration guidance.- MCP per-server environments — Route servers through explicit environment targeting and add OAuth options for streamable HTTP servers.
- Smarter connector schemas — Preserve local
$ref/$defsstructures and auto-compact oversized schemas before exposure. - Parallel read-only MCP tools — Tools advertising
readOnlyHintnow execute concurrently instead of sequentially. - Richer extension context — Extension tools now access conversation history; hook inputs include subagent identity.
Fixed
- Remote reliability — Reconnect stale exec-server websocket clients, retry remote control after auth recovery, and retry remote compaction v2 streams.
- Windows TUI rendering corruption — Restore virtual terminal mode before drawing to prevent garbled output.
- Workspace usage limits — Display workspace-specific error messages for credit and spend-cap failures.
- Plugin icon sharing — Allow plugin skills to reuse shared plugin-level icon assets.
- Permission profile metadata — Preserve active profile metadata when syncing auto-review runtime settings.
- Node tool proxy support — Ensure Node-based tools honor Codex's managed network proxy environment.
Breaking Changes
- Legacy profile v1 configs are now rejected. Use
--profileflag instead. Migration guidance is provided in error messages and docs.
