The External Connect modal had tabs for Python SDK / curl / Claude Code
channel / Universal MCP. Operators using hermes / codex / openclaw as
their external runtime had no copy-paste; they pieced together
WORKSPACE_ID + PLATFORM_URL + auth_token into config files by reading
docs.
Adds three runtime-specific snippets stamped server-side:
- **Hermes** — installs molecule-ai-workspace-runtime + the
hermes-channel-molecule plugin, exports the 4 env vars, and writes
the gateway.plugin_platforms.molecule block into ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
Same long-poll-based push semantics the Claude Code channel tab
delivers (push parity with the in-tree template-hermes adapter).
- **Codex** — wires the molecule_runtime A2A MCP server into
~/.codex/config.toml ([mcp_servers.molecule] block with env_vars
passthrough + literal env values). Outbound tools only — codex's
MCP client doesn't route arbitrary notifications/* (verified by
reading codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/connection_manager.rs); push parity
on external codex would need a separate bridge daemon, tracked
as future work. Snippet calls this out so operators know to pair
with Python SDK if they need inbound delivery.
- **OpenClaw** — installs openclaw + onboards, wires the molecule
MCP server via openclaw mcp set, starts the gateway on loopback.
Same outbound-tools-only caveat as codex; the in-tree template-
openclaw adapter implements the full sessions.steer push path,
but an external setup would need the same bridge daemon to translate
platform inbox events into sessions.steer calls. Future work.
Default open tab changed from "Claude Code" to "Universal MCP".
Universal MCP is runtime-agnostic and works as a starting point for
any operator regardless of their downstream agent runtime; runtime-
specific tabs are still one click away. Pre-2026-05-03 the modal
defaulted to Claude Code, so operators using non-Claude runtimes
opened to a tab they had to skip past.
Tab order also reorganized:
Universal MCP → Python SDK → Claude Code → Hermes → Codex → OpenClaw → curl → Fields
Each runtime-specific tab is gated on the platform supplying the
snippet (older platform builds without the field don't show empty
tabs).
