What is the UserPrompt MCP server?

It's an MCP server that lets AI agents pause execution and ask users clarifying questions via pop-up terminal windows. This enables interactive, user-guided agent workflows without hardcoding decisions.

How do I install UserPrompt?

Install via the command `UserPrompt@1.0.2`. It uses stdio transport, so it communicates with your MCP client through standard input/output streams.

Can I use UserPrompt in headless or non-interactive environments?

UserPrompt relies on pop-up terminal windows, so it requires an interactive terminal. It may not work in headless servers or CI/CD pipelines without a display.

What's the difference between UserPrompt and just using stdin?

UserPrompt integrates directly into the MCP protocol, allowing agents to request user input as a first-class operation within their task flow, rather than requiring manual stdin handling in your application.

Does UserPrompt support timeouts or default values if the user doesn't respond?

The registry metadata doesn't specify timeout or default-value behavior. Check the server documentation or source code for details on how unanswered prompts are handled.
