Connecting Your MCP Client — Serena Documentation
Serena works with OpenAI’s Codex CLI out of the box, but you have to use the codex context for it to work properly. (The technical reason is that Codex doesn’t fully support the MCP specifications, so some massaging of tools is required.). Add a run command to ~/.codex/config.toml to configure Serena for all Codex sessions; create the file if it does not exist.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Try out Serena MCP. Thank me later.
June 20, 2025 -
Thanks so much to /u/thelastlokean for raving about this.
I've been spending days writing my own custom scripts with grep, ast-grep, and writing tracing through instrumentation hooks and open telemetry to get Claude to understand the structure of the various api calls and function calls.... Wow. Then Serena MCP (+ Claude Code) seems to be built exactly to solve that.
Within a few moments of reading some of the docs and trying it out I can immediately see this is a game changer.
Don't take my word, try it out. Especially if your project is starting to become more complex.
