switchboard
Manages native Codex sessions, including creating Codex tasks with a prompt and working directory, searching and reading session history, sending follow-up messages, renaming/archiving sessions, and deleting sessions.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Switchboard
One MCP for finding, reading, and managing Claude and Codex sessions.
Install
Run either command in your terminal:
# Codex
codex mcp add switchboard -- npx -y @ezraapple/switchboard@latest
# Or Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user switchboard -- npx -y @ezraapple/switchboard@latestCheck the connection with codex mcp get switchboard or claude mcp get switchboard, then start a fresh session. Registering in either app lets that agent work with both installed harnesses; no second registration is needed.
Requires: macOS, Node.js 22.13+, and the harnesses installed and signed in. Claude creation also needs Remote Control and a trusted working directory. Its CLI login is separate from Desktop; check claude auth status.

Preview limits
New Codex sessions can lock the Desktop composer during their first turn; sidebar visibility and grouping may lag.
Desktop-owned rename/archive/delete operations may require the owning app.
Claude wake needs the original local transcript and a CLI supporting
--bg --resume; Desktop-only tools may be unavailable.Search is keyword-based. Read back replies after sending; acceptance is not completion.
Approval forwarding, attachments, and expired remote-only Claude recovery are unsupported. Some integrations use private interfaces that can change.
