A Windows beta runs a local MCP server so Codex and ChatGPT Desktop can request code from approved folders, with proposed edits held for review.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

For: Windows developers using Codex or ChatGPT Desktop
Worth noticing: The page names `.env` and `private-key.pem` as protected examples and says local file handling does not mean local AI inference.

Field notes

The page describes a local MCP server that lets Codex request current saved files only within user-approved folders, with protection rules for items such as `.env` and `private-key.pem`. Users can begin read-only and review proposed writes before they are applied; an activity log is also described. The workflow is Windows-only, and the page distinguishes local file handling from local AI inference: permitted code is still sent to the AI provider.
