Claude, Cursor, and Codex clients
Client checklist
Section titled “Client checklist”| Client | What to verify when the server ships |
|---|---|
| Claude | Exact product (desktop or developer tooling), supported transport, config mechanism, permission prompts, model-provider handling of tool results |
| Cursor | Supported client version, project/user config scope, transport support, approval behavior, provider handling |
| Codex | Supported app or CLI version, MCP registration mechanism, allowed tools, approval behavior, model-provider handling |
Configuration formats change. Use each client’s official documentation for the exact version you run; do not copy a guessed JSON key or an unrelated server command.
Connection procedure to validate
Section titled “Connection procedure to validate”- Obtain the server from the authenticated Opcodex release destination.
- Confirm its Community compatibility and documented transport.
- Start with a disposable project and the narrowest read-only access available.
- Register the exact released command or endpoint using the client’s documented mechanism.
- Inspect the advertised tool list and permissions before invocation.
- Check what a tool result contains before allowing the client to send it to a model provider.
- Verify disconnection, process shutdown, and logs.
No client configuration should contain committed API keys or tokens. A cloud-enabled assistant can receive analysis data even if the server runs on your machine. Explicit opt-in must account for that transfer.
Continue with MCP server scope or Community vs Pro.
