Only what the catalog names. A directory that syncs brings everything inside it except what is listed as excluded here.

Same data, in the shape your tool already reads
Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/codex. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these keeps the credential file out. None of them splits mcp_servers.*.command and mcp_servers.*.args for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
