What is the GotoHuman MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with GotoHuman, the gotohuman mcp server is the bridge. Human-in-the-loop platform - Allow AI agents and automations to send requests for approval to your gotoHuman inbox.

What GotoHuman does

gotoHuman makes it easy to add human approvals to AI agents and agentic workflows. A fully-managed async human-in-the-loop workflow with a customizable approval UI. Enjoy built-in auth, webhooks, notifications, team features, and an evolving training dataset.

Installing the gotohuman mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as @gotohuman/mcp-server, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: GOTOHUMAN_API_KEY, GOTOHUMAN_AGENT_ID. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. GotoHuman sits in that group. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the gotohuman mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

It connects GotoHuman to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with GotoHuman directly.
