MCP Feedback Enhanced

🌐 Language / 語言切換: English | 繁體中文 | 简体中文

Original Author: Fábio Ferreira | Original Project ⭐
Enhanced Fork: Minidoracat
UI Design Reference: sanshao85/mcp-feedback-collector

🎯 Core Concept

This is an MCP server that establishes feedback-oriented development workflows, perfectly adapting to both local and SSH remote development environments. By guiding AI to confirm with users rather than making speculative operations, it can consolidate multiple tool calls into a single feedback-oriented request, dramatically reducing platform costs and improving development efficiency.

Supported Platforms: Cursor | Cline | Windsurf | Augment | Trae

🔄 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

🌟 Key Features

🖥️ Dual Interface System

• Responsive Layout: Adapts to different screen sizes and window dimensions

🖼️ Image Support

• Format Support: PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP
• Upload Methods: Drag & drop files + clipboard paste (Ctrl+V)
• Auto Processing: Smart compression to ensure 1MB limit compliance

🌏 Multi-language

• Three Languages: English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese
• Smart Detection: Auto-select based on system language
• Live Switching: Change language directly within interface

🚀 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 needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-feedback-enhanced": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-feedback-enhanced@latest"],
      "timeout": 600,
      "env": {
        "FORCE_WEB": "true",
        "MCP_DEBUG": "false"
      },
      "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.

🆕 Version History

📋 Complete Version History: RELEASE_NOTES/CHANGELOG.en.md

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.
