AI Feedback Bridge
A VSCode extension that enables real-time interactive feedback between AI assistants and VSCode during development workflows.
📋 Features
- 🔗 MCP Protocol Support - Based on Model Context Protocol standard
- 🌐 Multiple Connection Types - Supports HTTP and SSE (Server-Sent Events)
- 🔄 Real-time Interaction - AI assistants can request user feedback
- 🎯 Simple Configuration - Works out of the box
- 📱 Built-in Interface - VSCode sidebar integrated panel
- ⚡ Auto-start - MCP server starts automatically when extension is activated
🚀 Quick Start
1. Install Extension
Search for "AI Feedback Bridge" in VSCode Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X) and install it.
2. Automatic Setup
- The MCP server starts automatically when the extension is activated
- Server runs on port 8765 by default
- No manual startup required
Based on your AI client type, add the following configuration:
Standard MCP Clients (Cursor, VSCode-based editors)
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-feedback-bridge": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp"
}
}
}
SSE-only Clients (Lingma, etc.)
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-feedback-bridge": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8765/sse"
}
}
}
To make AI assistants use the interactive feedback feature, add rules to your AI configuration or mention in conversation:
For AI Rules/System Prompts
Always call the MCP `interactive_feedback` tool when you need user input, clarification, or confirmation during development tasks.
In Conversation
You can explicitly ask AI to use feedback:
Please use interactive_feedback to ask me about the implementation details.
💡 Usage
- Auto-start Service: MCP server starts automatically when extension activates
- Open Interactive Panel: Use command "AI Bridge: Open AI Bridge Panel" or click the plug icon in activity bar
- AI Interaction: When AI assistant requests feedback, it appears in the panel
- Provide Feedback: Type your response in the panel and send
⚙️ Settings
Configure in VSCode settings:
mcpExtension.server.port: Server port (default: 8765)mcpExtension.server.timeout: Request timeout (default: 300000ms/5 minutes)mcpExtension.ui.autoOpen: Auto-open panel (default: true)
🔧 Troubleshooting
Q: Port 8765 is occupied?
A: Change mcpExtension.server.port in settings to another port, then restart VSCode.
Q: AI client connection failed?
A: Check firewall settings, ensure port 8765 is accessible, or try restarting VSCode.
Q: Feedback panel not showing?
A: Ensure mcpExtension.ui.autoOpen is enabled, or manually open via command "AI Bridge: Open AI Bridge Panel".
Q: AI doesn't use interactive feedback?
A: Add rules to your AI configuration or explicitly ask AI to use the interactive_feedback tool in conversation.
Q: Which AI clients are supported?
A: All VSCode-based code editors that support MCP protocol, including Cursor, VSCode with AI extensions, Lingma, etc. Note: Claude Desktop is not supported as it's not VSCode-based.
