Summary

  • Updated the ChatGPT MCP setup guide's "Tool Confirmation" section to clarify that the confirmation prompt may not appear in all ChatGPT Desktop versions
  • Changed "you will see a confirmation prompt" to "you may see a confirmation prompt" and added guidance on verifying tool invocation when no dialog is shown

Context

Newer ChatGPT Desktop versions (e.g., 1.2026.43) may auto-approve MCP tool calls without showing a confirmation dialog. The previous unconditional wording caused user confusion about whether Firecrawl was actually being invoked. The updated text directs users to check for the "Called tool" section in responses or review their usage dashboard to confirm tool execution.

…n all versions

The ChatGPT MCP setup guide stated unconditionally that users "will see
a confirmation prompt" when tools are invoked. Newer ChatGPT Desktop
versions may auto-approve tool calls without showing this dialog, which
caused user confusion about whether Firecrawl was actually being called.
Updated the wording to "may see" and added guidance on how to verify
tool invocation when no prompt appears.
