The gotoHuman MCP server provides a secure, controlled way to incorporate human approvals into AI workflows, simplifying the oversight of AI agents.
The gotoHuman MCP server enables AI agents and agentic workflows to request human approvals via MCP. It provides a fully managed, async human-in-the-loop workflow with a customizable approval UI, built-in auth, webhooks, notifications, and team features. This server acts as a bridge between AI systems and human reviewers, enabling human oversight of AI outputs.
Tools
list-forms
List all available review templates in your account, including high-level info about added fields.
get-form-schema
Get the schema to use when requesting a human review for a given review template.
request-human-review-with-form
Request a human review. Will appear in your gotoHuman inbox.
Setup
Install using npx: npx @gotohuman/mcp-server. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Windsurf) by adding an environment variable GOTOHUMAN_API_KEY with your API key. For local development, install dependencies with npm install, build with npm run build, and run as a local server using node /path/to/build/index.js.

Fit and risk
Not for
- Fully automated processes without human intervention
- Offline or intranet environments (requires network connectivity)
- On-premise deployments without the hosted service
Required permissions
- Requires a GOTOHUMAN_API_KEY for authentication and access to forms in your account
- Requires network access to app.gotohuman.com
- Write operations involve the gotoHuman service, no direct local file access
Risks and side effects
- Exposure of API key could lead to unauthorized approval requests
- Network issues may disrupt communication with the service
- Over-reliance on the service could cause delays in approvals
Troubleshooting
- Ensure your API key is correct and active.
- Check network connectivity to app.gotohuman.com.
- If using a local build, confirm the build succeeded and the path is correct.
- If tools fail, verify form IDs exist and fetch the correct schema using get-form-schema.
Use cases
