tesseron vs codex-octopus

tesseron: Tesseron allows live applications to declare typed actions using Zod-style builders, which MCP-compatible AI agents can invoke as tools over WebSocket. It provides a click-to-connect handshake, no browser automation, and capabilities like confirmation, elicitation, and sampling. The MCP gateway bundles with a Claude Code plugin for easy setup.; codex-octopus: Codex Octopus is an MCP server that wraps the OpenAI Codex SDK, enabling multiple specialized Codex agents with independent configurations to run from any MCP client. It supports features like multi-agent orchestration, per-invocation parameter overrides, and a factory wizard for generating agent configs.
