# Codex 0.160.1

By Steven Van · 2026-10-05

Unix hosts retain the Windows executor's startup environment when launching remote MCP servers with explicitly configured environment variables.

[Codex](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/openai-codex>) 0.160.1 preserves SYSTEMROOT, TEMP, and TMP when launching remote stdio MCP servers with explicitly configured remote environment variables. This lets Unix hosts retain the Windows executor's startup environment.

The [release](<https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.160.1>) backports the Windows remote MCP environment preservation fix to the 0.160 series.
