codex-multi-profile
Multi-workspace profile router, MCP server isolation auditor, and CLAUDE.md <-> AGENTS.md instruction bridge for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.
No outside reports on file
This tool handles sensitive multi-profile separation and configuration routing, but its low visibility, unclear documentation, and unverified isolation claims make it risky for production use without thorough testing and code review.
Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 27, 2026. Our opinion, not a code audit or security guarantee.

Install
npx -y codex-multi-profileAbout Codex Multi Profile
This MCP server acts as a router that manages multiple workspace profiles and claims to audit how different AI agents (like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex) are isolated from each other. It appears to bridge configuration files (CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md) to control which instructions different AI tools follow.
Who it’s for
Developers who want to run multiple AI coding assistants in the same workspace while keeping their settings and access separate. Teams that need to audit or control what data different AI agents can see.
Alternatives
- direnv: Manages environment variables per directory; lightweight and well-tested.
- Claude Desktop native multi-profile support: Check if Claude's built-in workspace features meet your needs.
- Manual profile separation: Keep workspace folders in separate directories with separate tool configurations.
- Docker containers: Isolate each AI agent in its own container for stronger separation.
Setup
Check these steps against the project’s own instructions before running anything.
Follow the project's README. The package is published on npm as codex-multi-profile, but without clear documentation we recommend checking the GitHub repository for installation and configuration steps before use.

Risks to watch for
- Access to multiple workspaces: This tool routes traffic between AI agents and multiple profiles, meaning it can see file paths, code, and settings across your project workspace.
- Configuration file control: It reads CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files that could contain secrets or instructions; an attacker could hide malicious rules in these files that an AI agent might follow without noticing.
- Low adoption signals: Zero GitHub stars and no Hacker News discussion means few eyes have reviewed this code for security issues.
- Unclear isolation claims: The 'auditor' and 'isolation' features are not well-documented, so it is hard to verify that separation between agents actually works as intended.
- Data leakage between profiles: If isolation fails, one AI agent's workspace profile could leak files or secrets meant only for another agent.
How to lower the risk
Least-privilege permissions
- Only grant this server access to workspace folders it truly needs to route between.
- Never give it access to your entire home directory or sensitive credential stores.
Network isolation
- Run it on a local machine only; do not expose it over the network.
- Verify it does not make outbound calls to unknown servers.
Monitoring
- Log which files and profiles this server reads and writes.
- Watch for suspicious instructions appearing in your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md files.
Red flags to watch for
- If configuration files appear without your edits, stop using it immediately.
- If one agent suddenly has access to another agent's workspace, the isolation may have failed.
