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 build

2. 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.js

3. 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.
