## TLDR


* **Why Upgrade**
    - Codex-mini on Claude Code: You can now use `codex-mini` (OpenAI’s code assistant model) via Claude Code.
    - MCP Permissions Management: Manage permissions for MCP Servers by Keys, Teams, Organizations (entities) on LiteLLM.
    - UI: Turn on/off auto refresh on logs view. 
    - Rate Limiting: Support for output token-only rate limiting.  
* **Who Should Read**
    - Teams using `/v1/messages` API (Claude Code)
    - Teams using **MCP**
    - Teams giving access to self-hosted models and setting rate limits
* **Risk of Upgrade**
    - **Low**
        - No major changes to existing functionality or package updates.

## Key Highlights


### MCP Permissions Management

<Image img={require('../../img/release_notes/mcp_permissions.png')}/>

This release brings support for managing permissions for MCP Servers by Keys, Teams, Organizations (entities) on LiteLLM. When a MCP client attempts to list tools, LiteLLM will only return the tools the entity has permissions to access.

This is great for use cases that require access to restricted data (e.g Jira MCP) that you don't want everyone to use.

For Proxy Admins, this enables centralized management of all MCP Servers with access control. For developers, this means you'll only see the MCP tools assigned to you.




### Codex-mini on Claude Code

<Image img={require('../../img/release_notes/codex_on_claude_code.jpg')} />

This release brings support for calling `codex-mini` (OpenAI’s code assistant model) via Claude Code.

This is done by LiteLLM enabling any Responses API model (including `o3-pro`) to be called via `/chat/completions` and `/v1/messages` endpoints. This includes:

- Streaming calls
- Non-streaming calls
- Cost Tracking on success + failure for Responses API models

Here's how to use it [today](../../docs/tutorials/claude_responses_api)
