Codex CLI and standard MCP clients

Sweet Unicorn
We would like Canny MCP to support broader standard MCP-compatible clients, especially Codex CLI and third-party Claude Code environments.
Right now, Canny MCP appears to work with a limited set of approved clients such as ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, and Cursor. However, many teams use multiple AI coding tools in their daily workflow. In our case, we use Canny heavily for product operations and spend several hundred dollars per month on it, but we cannot connect the MCP server from Codex CLI or some third-party Claude Code setups.
This creates a workflow bottleneck because the REST API and MCP expose different capabilities. We understand that API and MCP may not have identical functionality, but MCP itself should ideally be accessible from any standard MCP-compatible client, or Canny should provide clear connection details and configuration instructions for advanced users.
Our use case is to use Canny MCP for product feedback triage, Ideas/Insights workflows, Autopilot handoff, and agent-assisted product operations across the tools our team already uses.
Request:
Please support generic MCP client connection, or add official setup documentation for Codex CLI, third-party Claude Code environments, and other standard MCP clients.

We recently added support for CIMD authentication, which should add MCP support for any third-party AI tool that supports CIMD, which is most.
Definitely let me know if there's a particular tool that isn't working (because it doesn't support CIMD) and we can create OAuth credentials for it.
