How to check the local Codex CLI, Skills, and MCP setup before starting work with Codex Command Center

See the detected Codex CLI version, Skills, and MCP server summaries in one view.

Credentials. The configuration preview redacts only lines that appear to contain keys, tokens, secrets, or passwords, so check the preview before sharing a screenshot.

Who it is forA developer setting up a new machine or project who needs to confirm which Codex tools and MCP servers are available.

The problemCodex CLI path, configuration, Skills, and MCP settings are scattered across local files, and it is unclear what a session will actually see.

The outcomeA single view of the detected CLI path and version, redacted config previews, discoverable Skills, and MCP server summaries.

What you need first

  • Windows 11 (the primary supported platform)
  • Git on PATH for Git review
  • Codex CLI on PATH for launch and resume actions
  • Node.js 24 and Rust/Cargo only if you build from source

Steps

  1. Open the Codex environment view in Codex Command Center.
  2. Confirm the detected Codex CLI path and version match the install you expect.
  3. Review the redacted local configuration preview and check that no unexpected settings appear.
  4. Review the discoverable Skills and the MCP server summaries.
  5. Note any missing Skill or MCP server, then fix it in your local Codex configuration and reopen the view.

Prompt for your agent

Using the repository sevensir888/codex-command-center as a reference for what its Codex environment view shows, list the items I should verify on <machine name> before starting Codex work on <project name>. Output a checklist with one line per item. Verify that the Codex CLI version matches the version I expect.

Caveat. The app reads local Codex configuration, Skills, and MCP files, and the README does not describe how it handles configuration it cannot parse.
