Tools required
Node.js, npx or npm, an MCP-compatible coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Copilot, or Windsurf
Install & setup
Run claude mcp add overture-mcp -- npx overture-mcp for Claude Code, or add an MCP server entry with command npx and args ["overture-mcp"] in another MCP-compatible client. Overture opens a local visual plan interface at http://localhost:3031 when the agent produces a plan.

Quick brief

Use Overture when an operator wants a visible approval checkpoint before a coding agent starts editing. The workflow is concrete: install the Overture MCP server, let the agent generate a structured plan, review the plan in the local visual canvas, attach missing context or choose an approach, then approve execution and monitor progress. This belongs in ASE as a plan-governance workflow for coding agents, not as a generic visualization product or MCP listing, because the scope is specifically pre-code review and approval of agent execution plans.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Inputs and prerequisites: Node.js, npx or npm, an MCP-compatible coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Copilot, or Windsurf.

Setup notes: Run `claude mcp add overture-mcp — npx overture-mcp` for Claude Code, or add an MCP server entry with command `npx` and args [“overture-mcp”] in another MCP-compatible client. Overture opens a local visual plan interface at `http://localhost:3031` when the agent produces a plan.

Source and verification boundary: use https://github.com/SixHq/Overture as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.

Framework fit: publish this as a MCP workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
