About ttommyth/interactive-mcp
interactive-mcp is an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built with Node.js/TypeScript that enables direct, interactive communication between LLMs and local users. It adds a human-in-the-loop to AI workflows, allowing AI agents to request user input, send OS notifications, and manage persistent chat sessions. Designed to run locally alongside MCP clients like Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Cursor, it is ideal for interactive setup, code review feedback, and any workflow requiring real-time user confirmation.
Key Features

FAQ
How do I configure interactive-mcp with Claude Desktop or Cursor?
Add the minimal JSON configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop) or mcp.json (Cursor) with command 'npx' and args ['-y', 'interactive-mcp']. You can also specify a version or custom timeout with additional flags.
What is the default timeout for user prompts?
By default, user prompts will time out after 30 seconds. You can customize this by adding the '-t' flag with a desired number of seconds to the args array when configuring your client.
Can I disable specific tools?
Yes, you can disable tools by adding the appropriate command-line flags to the args array when configuring the MCP client. Check the server documentation for available options.
