Codex having a hard time using the MCP

[dhabedank]

Not sure if anyone else is expericing this, but I've recently switched to Codex on the Open AI Pro plan from Claude Code MAX. It's been a fantastic tool, however when working with Taskmaster it struggles to call tools. Is anyone else experiencing this and have you found a good solution? Sometimes it will have luck updating task descriptions, but not be able to change the task status, and other times it will be visa versa.

I have a feeling that AGENTS.MD - the one which ships with taskmaster and populates upon project initialization - was causing this problem. It 'seems' like Codex was confusing cli commands for how to invoke the taskmaster mcp. I don't have a good way of proving this but removing the AGENTS.MD file and then starting a new Codex session (along with removing a bunch of old rules files and directories from other coding tools I had used previously) has the MCP working flawlessly now.
