Windows and WSL with CODEX CLI connecting back through to Windows hosted MCP SSE

Are we able in latest codex cli that is running in WSL, able to integrate with a windows hosted MCP SSE ? I have enabled network access in WSL for Codex via config.toml, and when running in Codex CLI, I am seeing the correct tools profile, and when I structure a prompt it will trigger the correct tool and attempts to invoke it from within Codex CLI but then it hangs. AI research is saying SSE is not supported, but the code base of Codex CLI suggests otherwise. If it is supported, are there any samples that I can test in Windows with Codex CLI running in WSL ? Claude Code running in same WSL environment works perfectly, so its not an env issue I would suggest.
