Interactive MCP tools 5

• request_user_input<description> Send a question to the user via a pop-up command prompt. **Crucial for clarifying requirements, confirming plans, or resolving ambiguity.** You should call this tool whenever it has **any** uncertainty or needs clarification or confirmation, even for trivial or silly questions. Feel free to ask anything! **Proactive questioning is preferred over making assumptions.** </description> <importantNotes> - (!important!) **Use this tool FREQUENTLY** for any question that requires user input or confirmation. - (!important!) Continue to generate existing messages after user answers. - (!important!) Provide predefined options for quick selection if applicable. - (!important!) **Essential for validating assumptions before proceeding with significant actions (e.g., code edits, running commands).** </importantNotes> <whenToUseThisTool> - When you need clarification on user requirements or preferences - When multiple implementation approaches are possible and user input is needed - **Before making potentially impactful changes (code edits, file operations, complex commands)** - When you need to confirm assumptions before proceeding - When you need additional information not available in the current context - When validating potential solutions before implementation - When facing ambiguous instructions that require clarification - When seeking feedback on generated code or solutions - When needing permission to modify critical files or functionality - **Whenever you feel even slightly unsure about the user's intent or the correct next step.** </whenToUseThisTool> <features> - Pop-up command prompt display for user input - Returns user response or timeout notification (timeout defaults to 60 seconds)) - Maintains context across user interactions - Handles empty responses gracefully - Properly formats prompt with project context </features> <bestPractices> - Keep questions concise and specific - Provide clear options when applicable - Do not ask the question if you have another tool that can answer the question - e.g. when you searching file in the current repository, do not ask the question "Do you want to search for a file in the current repository?" - e.g. prefer to use other tools to find the answer (Cursor tools or other MCP Server tools) - Limit questions to only what's necessary **to resolve the uncertainty** - Format complex questions into simple choices - Reference specific code or files when relevant - Indicate why the information is needed - Use appropriate urgency based on importance </bestPractices> <parameters> - projectName: Identifies the context/project making the request (used in prompt formatting) - message: The specific question for the user (appears in the prompt) - predefinedOptions: Predefined options for the user to choose from (optional) </parameters> <examples> - "Should I implement the authentication using JWT or OAuth?" - "Do you want to use TypeScript interfaces or type aliases for this component?" - "I found three potential bugs. Should I fix them all or focus on the critical one first?" - "Can I refactor the database connection code to use connection pooling?" - "Is it acceptable to add React Router as a dependency?" - "I plan to modify function X in file Y. Is that correct?" </examples>
• message_complete_notification<description> Notify when a response has completed. Use this tool **once** at the end of **each and every** message to signal completion to the user. </description> <importantNotes> - (!important!) **MANDATORY:** ONLY use this tool exactly once per message to signal completion. **Do not forget this step.** </importantNotes> <whenToUseThisTool> - When you've completed answering a user's query - When you've finished executing a task or a sequence of tool calls - When a multi-step process is complete - When you want to provide a summary of completed actions just before ending the response </whenToUseThisTool> <features> - Cross-platform OS notifications (Windows, macOS, Linux) - Reusable tool to signal end of message - Should be called exactly once per LLM response </features> <bestPractices> - Keep messages concise - Use projectName consistently to group notifications by context </bestPractices> <parameters> - projectName: Identifies the context/project making the notification (appears in notification title) - message: The specific notification text (appears in the body) </parameters> <examples> - { "projectName": "MyApp", "message": "Feature implementation complete. All tests passing." } - { "projectName": "MyLib", "message": "Analysis complete: 3 issues found and fixed." } </examples>
• start_intensive_chat<description> Start an intensive chat session for gathering multiple answers quickly from the user. **Highly recommended** for scenarios requiring a sequence of related inputs or confirmations. Very useful for gathering multiple answers from the user in a short period of time. Especially useful for brainstorming ideas or discussing complex topics with the user. </description> <importantNotes> - (!important!) Opens a persistent console window that stays open for multiple questions. - (!important!) Returns a session ID that **must** be used for subsequent questions via 'ask_intensive_chat'. - (!important!) **Must** be closed with 'stop_intensive_chat' when finished gathering all inputs. - (!important!) After starting a session, **immediately** continue asking all necessary questions using 'ask_intensive_chat' within the **same response message**. Do not end the response until the chat is closed with 'stop_intensive_chat'. This creates a seamless conversational flow for the user. </importantNotes> <whenToUseThisTool> - When you need to collect a series of quick answers from the user (more than 2-3 questions) - When setting up a project with multiple configuration options - When guiding a user through a multi-step process requiring input at each stage - When gathering sequential user preferences - When you want to maintain context between multiple related questions efficiently - When brainstorming ideas with the user interactively </whenToUseThisTool> <features> - Opens a persistent console window for continuous interaction - Supports starting with an initial question - Configurable timeout for each question (set via -t/--timeout, defaults to 60 seconds) - Returns a session ID for subsequent interactions - Keeps full chat history visible to the user - Maintains state between questions </features> <bestPractices> - Use a descriptive session title related to the task - Start with a clear initial question when possible - Do not ask the question if you have another tool that can answer the question - e.g. when you searching file in the current repository, do not ask the question "Do you want to search for a file in the current repository?" - e.g. prefer to use other tools to find the answer (Cursor tools or other MCP Server tools) - Always store the returned session ID for later use - Always close the session when you're done with stop_intensive_chat </bestPractices> <parameters> - sessionTitle: Title for the intensive chat session (appears at the top of the console) </parameters> <examples> - Start session for project setup: { "sessionTitle": "Project Configuration" } </examples>
• ask_intensive_chat<description> Ask a new question in an active intensive chat session previously started with 'start_intensive_chat'. </description> <importantNotes> - (!important!) Requires a valid session ID from 'start_intensive_chat'. - (!important!) Supports predefined options for quick selection. - (!important!) Returns the user's answer or indicates if they didn't respond. - (!important!) **Use this repeatedly within the same response message** after 'start_intensive_chat' until all questions are asked. </importantNotes> <whenToUseThisTool> - When continuing a series of questions in an intensive chat session. - When you need the next piece of information in a multi-step process initiated via 'start_intensive_chat'. - When offering multiple choice options to the user within the session. - When gathering sequential information from the user within the session. </whenToUseThisTool> <features> - Adds a new question to an existing chat session - Supports predefined options for quick selection - Returns the user's response - Maintains the chat history in the console </features> <bestPractices> - Ask one clear question at a time - Provide predefined options when applicable - Don't ask overly complex questions - Keep questions focused on a single piece of information </bestPractices> <parameters> - sessionId: ID of the intensive chat session (from start_intensive_chat) - question: The question text to display to the user - predefinedOptions: Array of predefined options for the user to choose from (optional) </parameters> <examples> - Simple question: { "sessionId": "abcd1234", "question": "What is your project named?" } - With predefined options: { "sessionId": "abcd1234", "question": "Would you like to use TypeScript?", "predefinedOptions": ["Yes", "No"] } </examples>
• stop_intensive_chat<description> Stop and close an active intensive chat session. **Must be called** after all questions have been asked using 'ask_intensive_chat'. </description> <importantNotes> - (!important!) Closes the console window for the intensive chat. - (!important!) Frees up system resources. - (!important!) **Should always be called** as the final step when finished with an intensive chat session, typically at the end of the response message where 'start_intensive_chat' was called. </importantNotes> <whenToUseThisTool> - When you've completed gathering all needed information via 'ask_intensive_chat'. - When the multi-step process requiring intensive chat is complete. - When you're ready to move on to processing the collected information. - When the user indicates they want to end the session (if applicable). - As the final action related to the intensive chat flow within a single response message. </whenToUseThisTool> <features> - Gracefully closes the console window - Cleans up system resources - Marks the session as complete </features> <bestPractices> - Always stop sessions when you're done to free resources - Provide a summary of the information collected before stopping </bestPractices> <parameters> - sessionId: ID of the intensive chat session to stop </parameters> <examples> - { "sessionId": "abcd1234" } </examples>
