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.

Codex CLI 0.134.0: Search History, Profile Overhaul, MCP Upgrades

TL;DR

  • Local conversation history search with case-insensitive matching and previews
  • --profile becomes 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.
  • --profile as 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 $ref/$defs structures and auto-compact oversized schemas before exposure.
  • Parallel read-only MCP tools — Tools advertising readOnlyHint now 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 --profile flag instead. Migration guidance is provided in error messages and docs.
