User Prompt
This server gives AI agents a way to interrupt their workflow and ask you clarifying questions when they hit ambiguity or need a design decision. It exposes a single tool, user_prompt, that takes a reason string and an array of questions. When called, it spawns a PowerShell terminal window on your machine with the agent's questions displayed as a numbered list. You type your answers, they get formatted as Q&A pairs and returned to the agent, and it continues executing with your input. Built in .NET 8, ships as standalone executables or a dotnet global tool. Useful for long running agentic tasks where guessing wrong is worse than pausing for thirty seconds of human feedback.

User Prompt MCP Server
mcp-name: io.github.Jacob-J-Thomas/user-prompt
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents the ability to ask users clarifying questions mid-task via a pop-up terminal window. Built with .NET 8 and C#.
The Problem
Long-running AI agents (like Claude Code, IDE copilots, or custom agentic workflows) often encounter situations where they need human input — ambiguous requirements, unexpected errors, or design decisions that could go multiple ways. Without a mechanism to ask, the agent either guesses (often incorrectly) or stops entirely and waits for the user to notice.
