One brain, many arms — spawn multiple specialized Codex agents as MCP servers

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.
