55When your MCP App sends a `ui/open-link` request, Claude shows an **Open external link** confirmation modal before navigating. The modal protects users from being silently redirected by an embedded app.

7If your connector is published in the [Connectors Directory](/docs/connectors/directory), you can declare a set of trusted destinations that open immediately without the modal. Custom connectors and locally configured servers always show it. To skip the modal for a directory connector, [allowlist your destinations](#allowlist-link-destinations) and send each request after a [real user gesture](#user-activation-requirement), then [design your app](#design-for-the-modal) for the cases where the modal still appears.
