Overture

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overture": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["overture-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code Extension)

Open VS Code settings → search "Cline MCP" → add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overture": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["overture-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

GitHub Copilot

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "overture": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["overture-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Note: GitHub Copilot MCP requires VS Code 1.99+ and uses servers instead of mcpServers.

Sixth AI (VS Code Extension)

Add to your Sixth AI MCP settings file:

| Platform | Path | |----------|------| | macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/sixth.sixth-ai/settings/sixth-mcp-settings.json | | Windows | %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\sixth.sixth-ai\settings\sixth-mcp-settings.json | | Linux | ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/sixth.sixth-ai/settings/sixth-mcp-settings.json |

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overture": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["overture-mcp"],
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

Global Installation (Optional)

npm install -g overture-mcp

Verify It Works

Give your agent any task. Overture automatically opens at http://localhost:3031 with your plan ready for approval.

🎯 How It Works

The Flow:

| Step | What Happens | |------|--------------| | 1. Prompt | You give your agent a task: "Build a REST API with auth" | | 2. Plan | Agent generates a detailed plan with steps, branches, and requirements | | 3. Visualize | Overture renders the plan as an interactive graph | | 4. Enrich | You click nodes, attach files, select branches, fill in API keys | | 5. Approve | You click "Approve & Execute" (or press Enter) | | 6. Execute | Watch real-time as nodes pulse, complete, or fail | | 7. Control | Pause (Spacebar), resume, re-run nodes, or modify the plan mid-flight |

🛠 Features

Interactive Plan Canvas

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | React Flow Canvas | Full pan, zoom, drag with smooth animations | | Streaming Parser | Plan nodes appear in real-time as the agent generates them | | Dagre Auto-Layout | Intelligent automatic positioning of nodes | | Visual Status | Pending (gray) → Active (pulsing yellow) → Completed (green) / Failed (red) | | Next Node Indicator | Blue pulse shows which node executes next | | Complexity Badges | Low (green), Medium (yellow), High (red) at a glance | | Glow Effects | Shadow glows highlight active and upcoming nodes | | Insertable Edges | Hover over edges to insert new nodes mid-plan |

Node Details Panel

Click any node to reveal its full details:

| Info | What You See | |------|--------------| | Title & Description | Full context for what this step does | | Complexity Level | Low / Medium / High with visual indicator | | Expected Output | What the step should produce | | Risks & Edge Cases | Potential issues to watch for | | Pros & Cons | For branch options, compare trade-offs |

Dynamic Fields (User Inputs)

Nodes can request input from you before execution:

| Field Type | Use Case | |------------|----------| | String | Project names, URLs, custom values | | Number | Port numbers, limits, counts | | Boolean | Yes/No toggles for options | | Select | Dropdown with predefined choices | | Secret | API keys, tokens (masked input) | | File | File paths to attach context |

Each field includes:

• Required/optional indicator
• Default values
• Help text & descriptions
• Setup instructions ("How to get an API key")

File Attachments

Attach context files to specific nodes:

• Automatic type detection — Image, code, document, or other
• Visual icons per file type
• Descriptions — add notes about why this file matters
• Delete — remove unwanted attachments

Meta Instructions

Add custom LLM instructions to any node:

"Pay special attention to error handling here" "Use the existing auth pattern from src/auth.ts" "Make sure to add tests for edge cases"

Instructions are sent to the agent right before that node executes.
