Hi everyone,
I’m seeing a consistent widget-rendering issue with any ChatGPT app.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a new conversation and ask a question that invokes the app.
- The MCP tool completes and the widget renders correctly.
- Ask a follow-up question that invokes the tool again
Actual behavior:
During the second tool call, ChatGPT displays:
After that:
- The widget does not appear.
- ChatGPT does not provide a text reply.
- The response remains stuck in this state.
Expected Behavior
The second tool call should complete normally, display the updated widget, and return the assistant’s reply.
Has anyone experienced this recently? It looks similar to cases where the tool call succeeds, but the widget output is not delivered or rendered correctly inside the ChatGPT iframe.
Update
This issue only occurs when users add the tool using the official methods, such as clicking the “+” button or using @ to add the tool. The issue can be bypassed by typing the connector name directly.
In the second request:
@MyApp Show me my todo list → fail
MyApp Show me my todo list → success
