MCP connection failing with the (supposedly) newly-supported SSE process #5634
Description
What version of Codex is running?
0.48.0
What subscription do you have?
API
Which model were you using?
gpt-5-codex high
What platform is your computer?
Windows 11
What issue are you seeing?
The connection is giving me a 404 error after a successful OAUTH login.
in my config.toml file:
[mcp_servers.atlassian]
url = "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse"I also have experimental_use_rmcp_client = true enabled, as if I disable this it doesn't even let me login.
Then when I try and run the login flow:
PS H:\Projects\Ark Backup\dev> codex mcp login atlassian
Authorize atlassian by opening this URL in your browser:
https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/authorize?...
Successfully logged in to MCP server 'atlassian'.
PS H:\Projects\Ark Backup\dev> codex

■ MCP client for atlassian failed to start: handshaking with MCP server failed: Send message error Transport

request
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Connect to the Atlassian (or any other SSE protocol MCP server, although I have not checked others). It will let you login, the web page pops up to give consent, and then returns you to the CLI window successfully. Then starting codex will give an error immediately.
What is the expected behavior?
It logs in and connects successfully

The release notes were written incorrectly, we only support streamable http servers. Sorry for the confusion.

The release notes WERE incorrect then I think you meant.

Workaround using mcp-proxy
`
[mcp_servers.jira]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.example.com/v1/sse"]

If you're open to forgoing SSE for http for the time being, this workaround does the trick:
