loopquest-mcp

loopquest-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for LoopQuest. Lets any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents) send its output for gamified human-in-the-loop review and get a verdict back.

Tools

  • create_review_task — send content for a human to approve or flag. Returns a task id; the verdict arrives via webhook (callback_url) or get_task_status.

  • get_task_status — check a task's status / verdict.

Configure

Set LOOPQUEST_API_KEY (Workspaces → API keys). Optionally LOOPQUEST_BASE_URL for a self-hosted deployment.

Claude Desktop

In claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loopquest": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "loopquest-mcp"],
      "env": { "LOOPQUEST_API_KEY": "lq_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf use the same command / args / env shape in their MCP settings.

Available Tools

2 tools
create_review_taskA

Send content to LoopQuest for a human to review. Use mode=gate to BLOCK until a human approves (poll get_task_status for the verdict before acting), or mode=monitor to review in the background. Returns the task id, status and expiry.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modeNogate blocks until a human approves; monitor reviews without blocking (default monitor).
claimNoGrounding: the claim/answer to verify against the source.
titleNoShort title shown on the review card.
moduleNoWhich review game (default swiper). swiper=approve/flag, versus=pick better of two, sorter=classify, detective=find the error, fixer=confirm/correct fields, redact=mask PII/secrets, grounding=check a claim against its source.
sourceNoA label for the originating agent/workflow, shown as a coloured tag.
choicesNoSorter: the bucket options to classify into.
contentNoThe output to review (Swiper, Detective, Redact; the claim for Grounding if 'claim' is empty).
on_timeoutNoGate: action if the timeout passes with no verdict (default escalate, fail-closed).
external_idNoCorrelation id echoed back in the verdict webhook.
source_textNoGrounding: the source/context the claim must be supported by.
callback_urlNoWhere LoopQuest POSTs the signed verdict.
timeout_secondsNoGate: apply the fail-closed default if no human decides within this many seconds.
reviews_requiredNoHow many reviewers must agree.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions that gate mode blocks until human approval and that polling get_task_status is required. It also states the return fields. However, it does not discuss authentication requirements, rate limits, data persistence, or what happens on failure (e.g., if the human never reviews). These gaps reduce transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three sentences: first states the primary purpose, second explains the two modes and their usage, third lists return values. It is front-loaded, concise, and contains no redundant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (13 parameters, conditional logic for modules) and no output schema, the description provides a high-level overview but lacks details on conditional parameter usage (e.g., when 'choices' is required), possible return status values, callback behavior, and error scenarios. It is adequate but not comprehensive.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds some semantic value by explaining the modes and the relationship between 'claim' and 'content' for grounding, but most parameter meanings are already fully covered in the schema descriptions. No significant additional insight is provided beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Send content to LoopQuest for a human to review.' It distinguishes two modes (gate and monitor) and specifies the return values (task id, status, expiry), making the purpose specific and actionable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains when to use each mode: gate for blocking until human approval (with polling via get_task_status), and monitor for background review. It implicitly guides the agent away from using this tool if polling is not intended, and the sibling tool get_task_status is mentioned in context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or discuss alternatives for other review flows.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

get_task_statusA

Check the status and verdict of a LoopQuest review task by id.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
task_idYesThe task id returned by create_review_task.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided; the description discloses the tool performs a read operation ('check') to retrieve status and verdict. It is transparent about its non-destructive nature, though it does not detail other behavioral traits such as idempotency or rate limits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and directly addresses the tool's purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (one required parameter, no output schema, 100% schema coverage), the description is complete. It provides sufficient information for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a clear description for the single parameter. The description adds meaning by specifying 'status and verdict' beyond the schema's 'task id' description, clarifying what is checked.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool checks status and verdict of a review task by id, using the specific verb 'check' and resource 'status and verdict'. It implicitly distinguishes from sibling 'create_review_task' which creates tasks.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage after creating a task (referenced in parameter description) but does not explicitly state when to use or not use this tool versus alternatives. The context is clear for a simple status check.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: one creates a review task, the other checks its status. No overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case: create_review_task and get_task_status.

Tool Count4/5

With only 2 tools, the server is lightly scoped but still covers the core review workflow. The count is slightly low but acceptable for a focused utility.

Completeness3/5

The tool surface covers creation and status polling, but lacks operations like canceling or listing tasks, which could be needed in real workflows.
