MCP SERVERLet a coding agent stop and ask you a real question — in a browser window that opens by itself — instead of guessing and carrying on.
LABSCO SUMMARY
The split is the point: an open question for total uncertainty, a multiple choice when the options are already known, a hypothesis rating when you want judgment on specific claims, and a next-step chooser for branching work. Nothing to install and nothing to authorize — it serves its own UI and opens the browser when a question is waiting.
A human-in-the-loop server. It runs over stdio and serves its own web UI, so when the agent needs your judgment it posts a question there and waits for the answer.
Nothing to authorize — no account, no key. Run it with npx --yes ask-me-mcp from the npm package ask-me-mcp; the current published version is 1.0.2. Transport is stdio, and the browser UI is served from a port the server finds for itself starting at 3000; pass --port to pin one, which fails if that port is taken. ASK_ME_MCP_DEBUG=1 turns on debug logging.
One command — npx --yes ask-me-mcp
USE CASES
The agent lays out the viable paths and waits for you to pick one before it writes anything.
Answer several structured questions in one pass, adding a priority and a comment to each choice.
The agent states its assumptions as claims and you rate them, rather than writing a correction in prose.
A free-form question in the browser, for situations too open to reduce to a set of options.
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
ask-multiple-choiceMake structured decisions from a known set of options. Use when you KNOW the possible choices and need selection with priority/comments. Perfect for: feature selection, configuration choices, resource allocation. Choose this when you have 2+ specific options to pick from.
ask-one-questionGet free-form text responses when a situation is very unclear and cannot be solved with the other tools. Use ONLY when facing total uncertainty where you don't know what you don't know. Choose this when the situation is too unclear for structured options (ask-multiple-choice) or specific claims to validate (challenge-hypothesis). Write your question in markdown format with proper formatting, headers, lists, code blocks, etc. to make it clear and readable for the human.
challenge-hypothesisValidate assumptions or statements using agreement-based evaluation when you already have context about the situation. Use for testing theories, predictions, or proposals that can be rated as true/false or good/bad. Choose this when you need expert judgment on specific claims, not general questions.
choose-nextPresent decision points in workflows (requirements, ideation, specification, conceptual work) where you need human input to choose the next focus area or approach. Use this when you have multiple viable paths forward and need human judgment to decide which direction to pursue. The user will see options as visually appealing, animated boxes they can click to select. Perfect for: workflow decisions, requirement prioritization, feature selection, design direction choices, technical approach decisions, or any "what should we focus on next?" scenarios.
