1639MCP servers can request structured input from you mid-task using elicitation. When a server needs information it can't get on its own, Claude Code displays an interactive dialog and passes your response back to the server. No configuration is required on your side: elicitation dialogs appear automatically when a server requests them.

1652### Answer an elicitation request in a cloud session
1653
1654When Claude's task in your cloud session waits on an MCP server's request, the server needs something from you, such as a value or a sign-in. If the request appears as a card at claude.ai/code or in the Desktop app's **Code** tab, answer on the card:
1655
1656* **Form mode**: fill in the fields, then click **Submit**
1657* **URL mode**: click **Open link**, finish the flow it opens, then click **I’m done, continue** on the card
1658
1659To refuse the request, click **Decline**. Claude continues once the server responds.
1660
1661If you see no card in either place, you can't answer the request there. In your own session, click the stop button there to end the turn.
