HumanBridge MCP Server by Jatin Iyer — AI-to-human GUI dialogs with dynamic sizing and scrollable content

HumanBridge MCP Server

by Jatin Iyer

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that enables AI assistants to interact with humans through polished, modern GUI dialogs. HumanBridge bridges the gap between automated AI processes and human decision-making — providing text input, multiple choice, confirmations, and info notifications, all in dynamically-sized, scrollable windows that never overflow your screen.

Features

• Text Input — get text, numbers, or other data with validation
• Multiple Choice — single or multi-select option lists
• Multi-line Input — collect code, descriptions, or long-form content
• Confirmation Dialogs — yes/no decisions before proceeding
• Information Messages — display notifications and status updates
• Health Check — monitor server and GUI availability
• Dynamic sizing — windows grow to fit content, cap at 80% screen height, then scroll
• Scrollable content — title/prompt area scrolls automatically when text is long
• Cross-platform — Windows 11-style, macOS native, Linux compatible

Dialog Behaviour

• Short content: window sizes exactly to content — compact and clean
• Long content: window grows up to 80% of screen height, then the title/prompt area becomes scrollable (mousewheel supported)
• Input widgets (entry field, text area, choice list) are always fully visible — they never scroll away
• All dialogs are resizable by the user

---

Troubleshooting

Dialogs not appearing

• Verify you're in a desktop environment (not headless)
• Check tkinter: python -c "import tkinter"
• Run health_check tool to diagnose

macOS permission error

• Grant Accessibility permissions: System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Accessibility

Dialog timeout

• Default timeout is 5 minutes. Dialogs return cancelled: true after timeout.
