When using AI CLIs/IDEs, agents can drift from your intent. This project gives you a simple way to **intervene** at key moments, review context in a Web UI, and send your latest instructions via `interactive_feedback` so the agent can continue on track. Works with `Cursor`, `VS Code`, `Claude Code`, `Augment`, `Windsurf`, `Trae`, and more. ## Quick start 1. Install: ```bash pip install ai-intervention-agent # or uv add ai-intervention-agent ``` 2. Configure your AI tool to launch the MCP server via `uvx`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "ai-intervention-agent": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["ai-intervention-agent"], "timeout": 600, "autoApprove": ["interactive_feedback"] } } } ``` > [!NOTE] > `interactive_feedback` is a **long-running tool**. Some clients have a hard request timeout, so the Web UI provides a countdown + auto re-submit option to keep sessions alive.
Prompt snippet (copy/paste) ```text - Only ask me through the MCP `ai-intervention-agent` tool; do not ask directly in chat or ask for end-of-task confirmation in chat. - If a tool call fails, keep asking again through `ai-intervention-agent` instead of making assumptions, until the tool call succeeds. ai-intervention-agent usage details: - If requirements are unclear, use `ai-intervention-agent` to ask for clarification with predefined options. - If there are multiple approaches, use `ai-intervention-agent` to ask instead of deciding unilaterally. - If a plan/strategy needs to change, use `ai-intervention-agent` to ask instead of deciding unilaterally. - Before finishing a request, always ask for feedback via `ai-intervention-agent`. - Do not end the conversation/request unless the user explicitly allows it via `ai-intervention-agent`. ```

FAQ

What is the AI Intervention Agent MCP server?
AI Intervention Agent is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for AI Intervention Agent?
This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
