A practical Astra tip: wire Parallel's fast, high-quality web search into codex via MCP for free. Run codex mcp add parallel-search --url <parallel-mcp-url>, or simply paste this prompt to Astra: 'Add the fastest, highest quality web search tool, Parallel, to codex and report back with results,' letting the agent execute and self-test the setup.
