Client UX Support Matrix (UI, Resources, Confirmations)
This page explains which tools have a dedicated UI in supported clients (for example, Claude Desktop), which can surface MCP “resources”, and which operations may trigger confirmations (elicitation).
Important nuance (user-facing)

How to work safely without confirmations UI
Use prompts like:
Resources you may see (preferences)
In clients that support resources, the server can expose preference snapshots as resources:
- Effective Preferences (Memory)
- Global Preferences (Memory)
- Workspace Preferences (Memory) (Service-only; Pro)
- Model Preferences (Memory) (Desktop/Service; Pro)
If your client supports resources, ask:
“Open the Effective Preferences resource and summarize what’s in effect.”
