User Steps MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides a user_steps tool for Claude. This tool allows the agent to present step-by-step checklists to users and automatically opens an interactive terminal UI for completion.
Installation
1. Build the packages
cd user-steps-mcp
npm install
npm run build
cd cli
npm install
npm run build2. Configure Claude Code
Add the MCP server to your Claude Code configuration. Choose one of these methods:
Option A: Project-level config (.mcp.json in your project root):
{
"mcpServers": {
"user-steps": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/user-steps-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}Option B: Global config (~/.claude.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"user-steps": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/user-steps-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}Option C: Via Claude CLI:
claude mcp add user-steps node /path/to/user-steps-mcp/dist/index.js3. Verify installation

Usage
When Claude needs the user to perform manual steps, it will call the user_steps tool, which automatically opens a new terminal window with an interactive checklist UI.
The tool blocks and waits until the user completes the steps or cancels the session.
