consult-user-mcp CLAUDE.md

consult-user-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from doublej/consult-user-mcp. It costs 2,287 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An MCP server that lets a coding agent ask the user questions through native dialogs on macOS and Windows. MCP is a standard way for an agent to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build and test user prompts, dialog layouts, platform-specific dialog apps, and the supporting tray applications on macOS and Windows.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a structured way to pause for a decision, clarification, or confirmation instead of guessing or relying only on chat text.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

consult-user-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Consult User MCP

An MCP server that gives an agent a way to actually ask the user something — native dialogs on macOS and Windows, returning structured JSON. The agent blocks until the user answers, snoozes, or cancels.

Architecture map

One MCP server, two platform implementations behind a single DialogProvider interface.

Folder What it is
mcp-server/ The MCP server. Tool surface, response compaction, provider selection. TypeScript, Bun.
dialog-cli/ macOS Dialog CLI. Ephemeral — spawned per dialog, prints JSON, exits. Swift/SwiftUI.
macos-app/ macOS Tray App. Persistent. Owns settings, history, updates, install, debug menu.
dialog-cli-windows/ Windows Dialog CLI. Mirrors dialog-cli/. .NET/WPF.
windows-app/ Windows Tray App. Mirrors macos-app/. .NET/WPF.
sketch-cli/ Grid layout editor behind propose_layout. Separate Swift CLI, macOS only.
test-cases/ JSON fixtures + screenshot runner. Feeds both the test runner and the debug menu.
container/ Headless macOS VM the suites run inside, so they stop taking your screen.
docs/ SvelteKit docs site. Owns releases.json, the release source of truth.
scripts/ Build, install, release, and validation shell scripts.

The two processes on each platform talk through files, not IPC: the Tray App writes settings.json and snooze state, the Dialog CLI reads them on launch.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
