Enhanced Fork: Minidoracat
UI Design Reference: sanshao85/mcp-feedback-collector

🎯 Core Concept

This is an MCP server that implements human-in-the-loop workflows in AI-assisted development tools. By guiding AI to confirm with users rather than making speculative operations, it can consolidate up to 25 tool calls into a single feedback-oriented request, dramatically reducing platform costs.

Supported Platforms: Cursor | Cline | Windsurf

🔄 Workflow

1. AI Call → mcp-feedback-enhanced
2. Environment Detection → Auto-select appropriate interface
3. User Interaction → Command execution, text feedback, image upload
4. Feedback Delivery → Information returns to AI
5. Process Continuation → Adjust or end based on feedback

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation & Testing

# Install uv (if not already installed)
pip install uv

# Quick test
uvx mcp-feedback-enhanced@latest test

2. MCP Configuration

Basic Configuration (suitable for most users):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-feedback-enhanced": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-feedback-enhanced@latest"],
      "timeout": 600,
      "autoApprove": ["interactive_feedback"]
    }
  }
}

Advanced Configuration (Custom Environment):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-feedback-enhanced": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-feedback-enhanced@latest"],
      "timeout": 600,
      "env": {
        "FORCE_WEB": "true",
        "MCP_DEBUG": "false",
        "MCP_HOST": "0.0.0.0",
        "MCP_PORT": "8888"
      },
      "autoApprove": ["interactive_feedback"]
    }
  }
}

3. Prompt Engineering Setup

For best results, add these rules to your AI assistant:

# MCP Interactive Feedback Rules

1. During any process, task, or conversation, whether asking, responding, or completing stage tasks, must call MCP mcp-feedback-enhanced.
2. When receiving user feedback, if feedback content is not empty, must call MCP mcp-feedback-enhanced again and adjust behavior based on feedback.
3. Only when user explicitly indicates "end" or "no more interaction needed" can you stop calling MCP mcp-feedback-enhanced, then the process is complete.
4. Unless receiving end command, all steps must repeatedly call MCP mcp-feedback-enhanced.
5. Before completing the task, use the MCP mcp-feedback-enhanced to ask the user for feedback.

Latest Version Highlights (v2.2.2)

• 🔄 Timeout Auto-cleanup: Fixed GUI/Web UI not automatically closing after MCP session timeout
• 🛡️ Resource Management Optimization: Improved timeout handling mechanism to ensure proper cleanup of all UI resources
• 🎯 QTimer Integration: Introduced precise QTimer timeout control mechanism in GUI

🐛 Common Issues

Q: Getting "Unexpected token 'D'" error
A: Debug output interference. Set MCP_DEBUG=false or remove the environment variable.

Q: Chinese character garbled text
A: Fixed in v2.0.3. Update to latest version: uvx mcp-feedback-enhanced@latest

Q: Image upload fails
A: Check file size (≤1MB) and format (PNG/JPG/GIF/BMP/WebP).

Q: Web UI won't start A: Set FORCE_WEB=true or check firewall settings.

Q: UV Cache taking up too much disk space A: Due to frequent use of uvx commands, cache may accumulate to tens of GB. Regular cleanup is recommended:

# Check cache size and detailed information
python scripts/cleanup_cache.py --size

# Preview cleanup content (without actually cleaning)
python scripts/cleanup_cache.py --dry-run

# Execute standard cleanup
python scripts/cleanup_cache.py --clean

# Force cleanup (attempts to close related processes, solves Windows file lock issues)
python scripts/cleanup_cache.py --force

# Or use uv command directly
uv cache clean

For detailed instructions, see: Cache Management Guide

Q: Gemini Pro 2.5 cannot parse images
A: Known issue. Gemini Pro 2.5 may not correctly parse uploaded image content. Testing shows Claude-4-Sonnet can properly analyze images. Recommend using Claude models for better image understanding capabilities.

Q: Multi-screen window positioning issues
A: Fixed in v2.1.1. Go to "⚙️ Settings" tab, check "Always show window at primary screen center" to resolve window positioning issues. Especially useful for T-shaped screen arrangements and other complex multi-monitor configurations.
