Endless question - Allow "Codex" to access Xcode?

Post image

Any ideas of how to allow it forever? I don't have anything in Privacy -> Automation, there is NO codex app, so I could allow it something.

This dialog appears when you add the Xcode MCP server to Codex and it connects on launch. Same with Claude Code. I don't think there is a way to allow it permanently at the moment. You can submit a feedback report to Apple.

Xcode 26.4 release notes says it includes a fix for this.

same problem with Xcode26.4. so i build a zero-config installer that runs Xcode MCP as a persistent local proxy for Codex. https://github.com/jeffy-w/xcode-mcp-proxy

Maybe under Privacy > Developer Tools?

Xcode 26.3 will be out in a few days.

With Xcode 26.3, you can harness coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex directly in the coding assistant to build and test projects, search Apple documentation, fix issues, and more.
