Store the literal token outside the Codex configuration in an appropriate protected secret store/environment, and set bearer_token_env_var to the NAME of that variable (e.g. MCP_SERVICE_TOKEN) rather than its value. Alternatively configure supported OAuth. Inspect startup output and logs for inadvertent token exposure without printing values; if the original token was logged, revoke/rotate it and remove/redact affected stored copies according to retention policies. Do not assume deleting the config prevents use of a previously exposed credential.
