What's Wrong?
MCP write tool calls (notion-create-pages, notion-update-page) fail with "MCP tool call requires approval" error, but NO approval prompt is ever shown. The call silently fails.
Environment: claude.ai/code remote execution environment (GitHub-connected)
Organization: avilen.co.jp
Started: June 15, 2026
Already tried:
- Added mcp__Notion__* wildcard to settings.json
- New sessions, cache clear, re-login
- Admin set org-level and role-level permission to "always allow"
- 24+ hours elapsed, no improvement
What Should Happen?
MCP write tool calls should either execute automatically (when set to "always allow") or show an approval prompt so the user can approve them.
Error Messages/Logs
Streamable HTTP error: Error POSTing to endpoint: MCP tool call requires approval
Steps to Reproduce
- Use claude.ai/code (remote execution environment, GitHub-connected)
- Configure an MCP server (Notion) in the project
- Set permissions.allow in settings.json to include "mcp__Notion__*"
- Set org-level and role-level permission to "always allow" in admin settings
- Ask Claude to call a write tool (notion-create-pages or notion-update-page)
- Tool fails with "MCP tool call requires approval" - no approval prompt appears
