LoopSense MCP Server

LoopSense is an open-source MCP server that closes the feedback loop for AI coding agents — giving them real-time visibility into CI results, deployments, test outcomes, and file system changes.

What it does

When an AI agent pushes code, runs tests, or triggers a deployment, LoopSense watches the downstream effects and surfaces them back to the agent. No more blind actions.

Supported sources:

• GitHub Actions CI runs (polling)

• Local processes (stdout/stderr capture, exit codes)

• File system changes (via chokidar)

• HTTP endpoints (polling, with status/body assertions)

• Incoming webhooks (lightweight HTTP server)

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

Installation

npm install -g @loopsense/mcp

Or run directly with npx:

npx @loopsense/mcp

MCP Configuration

Claude Code (one-liner):

claude mcp add loopsense -e GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_yourtoken -- npx -y @loopsense/mcp

Or add manually to your claude_desktop_config.json (or equivalent MCP host config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loopsense": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@loopsense/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if installed globally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loopsense": {
      "command": "loopsense",
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Tools

watch_ci

Watch a GitHub Actions workflow run. Polls every 30 seconds and emits events on status changes.

{
  "owner": "acme",
  "repo": "api",
  "branch": "main",
  "action_id": "deploy-2024-01"
}

watch_process

Spawn a local process and capture its output and exit code.

{
  "command": "npm",
  "args": ["test"],
  "cwd": "/path/to/project",
  "action_id": "run-tests"
}

watch_file

Watch a file or directory for changes.

{
  "path": "/path/to/dir",
  "pattern": "**/*.ts",
  "action_id": "file-changes"
}

watch_url

Poll an HTTP endpoint and detect status or body changes.

{
  "url": "https://api.example.com/health",
  "interval": 15,
  "expect": {
    "status": 200,
    "body_contains": "\"status\":\"ok\""
  }
}

watch_webhook

Start a local HTTP server to receive webhook payloads.

{
  "source_type": "vercel",
  "port": 9876
}

Configure your webhook sender to POST to http://localhost:9876.

check_consequences

Get events for a specific action or all recent events.

{
  "action_id": "deploy-2024-01"
}

list_watches

List all active watchers.

cancel_watch

Stop a watcher by ID.

{
  "watch_id": "uuid-here"
}

poll_events

Get events since a timestamp (fallback for clients without notification support).

{
  "since": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Resources

LoopSense exposes two MCP resources that update reactively:

• loopsense://timeline/recent — last 100 events across all watches

• loopsense://watches/active — all currently active watches

• loopsense://consequences/{action_id} — events for a specific action

Usage Example

An agent workflow might look like:

1. Agent pushes code to a branch

2. Agent calls watch_ci with action_id: "my-pr-123"

3. LoopSense polls GitHub Actions every 30 seconds

4. When CI completes, agent calls check_consequences with action_id: "my-pr-123"

5. Agent sees the test failures and fixes them

Data Storage

Events and watch records are persisted to ~/.loopsense/events.db (SQLite). Active watches are resumed automatically on server restart.
