A task can ask you for input by sending a link, which is called URL elicitation. If link requests are not switched on for that connection, Claude Code now logs that link requests are switched off and cancels the task. Before, the request went straight on to be handled.\n\nLink requests are on by default in the code unless they are switched off remotely.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf an MCP task you start is cancelled when you expected to be sent a link, link requests being switched off is a likely reason.\n\n- Flag `tengu_mcp_url_elicitation`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.300; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
