Recommended action: Set startup_timeout_sec (e.g. 30) under [mcp_servers.<name>] in ~/.codex/config.toml; pre-install the server package to avoid npx download on startup.
Option: Raise startup_timeout_sec [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Slow-starting servers
Steps:
1. Edit ~/.codex/config.toml
2. [mcp_servers.playwright]\nstartup_timeout_sec = 30
3. Restart Codex
Expected: Server tools load
