Overture

- Review and approve AI-generated plans before code execution— Overture renders the agent's plan as an interactive flowchart viasubmit_planand waits for your approval throughget_approval.
- Monitor execution progress in real time— watch nodes update status (update_node_status) as the agent runs, with visual indicators for pending, active, completed, and failed steps.
- Pause, resume, or re-run plan steps— usecheck_pauseandcheck_rerunto control execution mid-flow without losing context.
- Resume past plans from history— callget_resume_infoto reload a saved plan with all field values, branch selections, and attachments preserved.
- Modify plans dynamically during execution— insert, remove, or replace nodes viarequest_plan_updateand review changes in the plan diff view.

See the plan before the code. Approve it. Then watch it execute.

claude mcp add overture-mcp -- npx overture-mcp

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

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

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

Create.vscode/mcp.jsonin your project root:

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

Note:GitHub Copilot MCP requires VS Code 1.99+ and usesserversinstead ofmcpServers.

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

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

Click any node to reveal its full details:

Nodes can request input from you before execution:

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

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

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.

When the agent proposes multiple approaches:

Before you can approve, Overture shows what's needed:

- Empty required fields— counted per node
- Branch selections— which decisions are pending
- Progress indicator— visual completion tracking
- Expandable items— click to see details
- Color coding— Green (done) / Orange (pending)

The Approve button stays disabled until all requirements are met.

- 🟢"Approve & Execute"— plan ready, requirements met
- 🟠"Complete Requirements"— conditions unmet
- 🔵"Executing..."— running with spinner
- 🟢"Completed"— all done
- 🔴"Failed"— error occurred

After each node executes, see rich structured output:

Each category isexpandable— drill in without visual overload.

Click any completed node to see full output:

- Scrollablefor long outputs
- Syntax highlightedcode snippets
- Close with Escapeor click outside

Browse and attach MCP servers directly from the Overture UI.

When you attach an MCP server to a node, the agent gains access to those toolsonly for that step.

Work on multiple projects simultaneously:

Single project? Tab bar hides automatically for a cleaner UI.

When resuming, you get complete context:

- Current node— where execution stopped
- Completed nodes— with their outputs
- Pending nodes— what's left to do
- Failed nodes— with error messages
- All configurations— field values, branches, attachments
- Timestamps— when created, when paused

When a plan changes, see exactly what's different:

- Added nodes— highlighted green
- Removed nodes— highlighted red
- Modified nodes— yellow with before/after comparison
- Edge changes— added/removed connections

Overture exposes 11 MCP tools for agents to interact with:

connected•plan_started•node_added•edge_added•plan_ready•plan_approved•node_status_updated•plan_completed•plan_failed•plan_paused•plan_resumed•nodes_inserted•node_removed•project_registered•projects_list•history_entries•plan_loaded•resume_plan_info•plan_updated

When the WebSocket port is already in use, Overture automatically operates as arelay client, forwarding messages through the existing server. Multiple agent instances can share a single UI.

claude mcp add overture-mcp -e OVERTURE_HTTP_PORT=4000 -e OVERTURE_AUTO_OPEN=false -- npx overture-mcp

{ "mcpServers": { "overture": { "command": "npx", "args": ["overture-mcp"], "env": { "OVERTURE_HTTP_PORT": "4000", "OVERTURE_WS_PORT": "4001", "OVERTURE_AUTO_OPEN": "false" } } } }

{ "servers": { "overture": { "command": "npx", "args": ["overture-mcp"], "env": { "OVERTURE_HTTP_PORT": "4000", "OVERTURE_WS_PORT": "4001", "OVERTURE_AUTO_OPEN": "false" } } } }

Each agent hascustom-tailored promptsfor optimal plan generation.

- Transparency— See exactly what happens before code is written
- Control— Approve, reject, or modify any plan
- Context— Attach files and instructions to the right steps
- Choice— Compare approaches and pick your path
- Visibility— Real-time progress with rich output
- Safety— Pause, resume, or re-run at any time
- History— Resume any past plan instantly
- Efficiency— No wasted tokens on rejected approaches

- Trust— Makes agents predictable and controllable
- Interpretability— See AI reasoning before execution
- Universal— Works with any MCP-compatible agent
- Extensible— MCP Marketplace for tool discovery
- Open Source— MIT licensed, community-driven
- Self-Contained— No cloud dependencies
- Works Offline— Fully local execution
- Multi-Project— Manage multiple workspaces
