The Codex plugin ships from the same `plugin/` directory as the Claude Code plugin. It registers:

- `@agentmemory/mcp` as an MCP server (all 51 tools when `AGENTMEMORY_TOOLS=all`)
- `@agentmemory/mcp` as an MCP server (proxies all 51 tools when `AGENTMEMORY_URL` points at a running agentmemory server; falls back to 7 tools locally when no server is reachable)
- 6 lifecycle hooks: `SessionStart`, `UserPromptSubmit`, `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, `PreCompact`, `Stop`
- 4 skills: `/recall`, `/remember`, `/session-history`, `/forget`

51 tools, 6 resources, 3 prompts, and 4 skills — the most comprehensive MCP memory toolkit for any agent.

> **MCP shim vs full server:** the published `@agentmemory/mcp` package is a thin shim. It exposes the full 51-tool surface **only when it can reach a running agentmemory server** via `AGENTMEMORY_URL` (proxy mode). With no server reachable, the shim falls back to a 7-tool local set (`memory_save`, `memory_recall`, `memory_smart_search`, `memory_sessions`, `memory_export`, `memory_audit`, `memory_governance_delete`). The `AGENTMEMORY_TOOLS=core|all` env var is a *server-side* flag — setting it in the shim's `env` block has no effect. If you see only 7 tools in Cursor / OpenCode / Gemini CLI, start `npx @agentmemory/agentmemory` (or the Docker stack) and set `AGENTMEMORY_URL=http://localhost:3111`.
