Connect and disconnect ChatGPT
Normal managed connection
connect creates the default standalone profile when absent and establishes managed startup. It asks for initial human input in the terminal, checks progress, reports readiness or an actionable failure, and returns to the prompt. Valid saved setup can be resumed without repeating the initial fields. The MCP access key is not an OpenAI API key. Keep the browser's ChatGPT account login and consent separate from the optional local account label.

Managed startup uses protected, host-bound encrypted connection material. The normal terminal does not have to remain open. This is a persistence feature, not a promise that an account, network or tunnel service can never fail. Connection intent and boot policy are separate: enabled startup runs the stack at boot, while an intentional disconnected state remains disconnected until connect.
fb status bootfb statusIntentional disconnect
disconnect keeps local tools and saved material, but records the intention to stay disconnected across worker recovery and reboot. Explicit connect clears that pause. Check the returned state rather than interpreting a successful query as an active transport.
fb disconnectfb status connectionReplacement and temporary foreground mode
Use connect --replace only when deliberately replacing the account label/tunnel/access configuration. The advanced --foreground mode is temporary, needs a ready local runtime and occupies its terminal until interrupted; it is not the normal managed workflow. Do not use advanced mode merely to recover a normal saved connection.
