Staff can reply, users can’t: every follow-up path is closed while the MCP issue remains unresolved
OpenAI Developer Community
June 8, 2026
Hi OpenAI Support,
I need to add an important update.
Smith replied in the Developer Community saying that the closure was not intended to dismiss the issue or prevent further investigation. However, in practice, I am now unable to respond through the original topic, the newer follow-up topics have also been closed, and email replies to the community thread are rejected because the topic is closed.
This means every community follow-up path has been blocked while the technical issue remains unresolved.
The support ticket number is 09461958.
The issue remains: custom MCP connectors and OpenAI-provided Apps/connectors such as Notion cannot coexist in the same ChatGPT conversation/context.
Please escalate this ticket. I need a concrete product answer or workaround, not a closed community loop where staff can reply but I cannot respond.
This is now both a product limitation and a support/community process failure.
