Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
mcp-micromanageCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install headlessly by adding "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@yodakeisuke/mcp-micromanage"] to your MCP JSON. For the visualization dashboard, clone the repository, build the server (npm install && npm run build), then run the frontend from the visualization/ folder (npm install && npm run dev). It is highly recommended to also add the provided .mdc rules to your project.

Control your coding agent colleague who tends to go off track.
If sequentialthinking is a dynamic formulation and externalization of thought workflows, this tool is a dynamic formulation and externalization of development task flows.
Motivation
Challenges with Coding Agents
- Coding agents often make modifications beyond what they're asked to do - Assuming cursor+claude - They struggle to request user feedback at key decision points during implementation - Work plans and progress tracking can be challenging to visualize and monitorSolution
- Commit and PR-based Work Plans: Force implementation plans that break down tickets into PRs and commits as the minimum units of work - Forced Frequent Feedback: Enforce user reviews at the commit level, creating natural checkpoints for feedback - Visualization: Instantly understand the current work plan and implementation status through a local React apptool
1. plan: Define your implementation plan with PRs and commits
2. track: Monitor progress and current status of all work items
3. update: Change status as work progresses, with mandatory user reviews
Visualization Dashboard
The project includes a React-based visualization tool that provides:
- Hierarchical view of PRs and commits
- Real-time updates with auto-refresh
- Status-based color coding
- Zoom and pan capabilities
