Codex Delegate

Stop burning your frontier agent's limits on boilerplate.

Delegate implementation to the OpenAI Codex CLI — your agent writes the brief and reviews the diff.

Use your best coding agent where its judgment matters most: understanding the task, shaping the plan, and reviewing the result.

Codex Delegate is the MCP bridge that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot — or any MCP client — hand implementation to the OpenAI Codex CLI, then get a clean, structured result back for review.

A terminal recording of Claude Code delegating to Codex: a health check confirms the Codex CLI, auth and model catalog; an ask-mode run diagnoses why the demo repo prints "today 0", naming commitDay() bucketing by UTC while cellDay() labels by local time, with line numbers; one sentence then fans out to two Codex models at once — one editing the repo, one researching in a separate directory — and the fix lands with tests passing and the footer reading today 4, current streak 23, longest streak 23; finally Codex reviews its own diff and reports three findings

🧠 Frontier quality, kept

Your assistant does what frontier models are actually for: understands the task, writes a precise brief, reviews the finished diff. Codex holds its own as the implementer — guided and checked by a smarter orchestrator. The result reads like frontier work, because a frontier model planned it and signed off on it.

Features

📦 One result you can review — a compact JSON block: the final answer, status, the files Codex's edit tools reported changing, per-turn token counts, and the threadId to continue from. Fields that carry no signal are omitted.

📋 Plan first, then build it on the same thread — plan returns schema-validated steps for you to approve, and agent implements them. ask answers questions. review runs Codex's own reviewer over uncommitted work,

🧠 Frontier quality, kept

⚡ Done faster

Codex tears through multi-file edits while a frontier chat model would still be streaming the first file. You delegate, keep working with your assistant, and the diff shows up done.

🔋 Your limits stop being the bottleneck

Delegated work runs on the OpenAI Codex CLI and its own usage — separate from your orchestrator's chat quota. Your Claude, Cursor, or Copilot subscription spends tokens on the brief and the review; Codex does the grinding. On API? That's the per-token grind moved off your main bill.
