🧭 unloop-mcp - Stop AI Fix Loops Fast

🪄 What this does

unloop-mcp is an MCP server that helps stop AI from getting stuck in fix loops.

It watches for repeated error patterns, checks when fixes look too similar, and pushes the assistant toward a new path when it keeps circling the same problem.

Use it when your coding assistant keeps:

• making the same change again
• fixing one error and creating another
• repeating edits without real progress
• missing the root cause
• bouncing between the same files

📦 What you get

This app is meant to help you keep AI coding sessions on track.

It can help with:

• error fingerprinting
• fix similarity checks
• loop detection
• escalation when the same fix repeats
• cleaner handoff to your coding assistant tools

It works with tools that support MCP, such as:

• Claude-based coding setups
• Cursor
• other MCP-aware developer tools

🖥️ What you need

Before you install it, make sure you have:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• a modern web browser
• internet access to download the release
• enough disk space for a small app
• an MCP-compatible tool if you plan to connect it to an assistant

If your computer can run a current browser and a modern desktop app, it should be fine.

⬇️ Download

Go to the Releases page to download and run this file.

If you see several files, choose the one for Windows. In most cases, that will be the .exe file or a Windows package listed under the latest release.

🪟 Install on Windows

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Releases page
2. Find the latest release at the top of the page
3. Download the Windows file
4. Save it to a folder you can find again, such as Downloads or Desktop
5. If the file is a .zip, right-click it and choose Extract All
6. If the file is a .exe, double-click it to start the app
7. If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes
8. Wait for the app to finish opening

If the app opens in a console window, leave that window open while you use your coding assistant.

⚙️ Connect it to your AI tool

After you install it, connect it to the tool you already use.

Typical setup steps:

1. Open your MCP-aware app
2. Find its settings or tool connections area
3. Add a new MCP server
4. Point it to the unloop-mcp app or server file you downloaded
5. Save the setting
6. Restart the assistant if needed

If your tool asks for a command, path, or server address, use the value from the release notes or the included setup file in the download.

🔍 How it helps in real use

When an AI assistant gets stuck, it often repeats the same kind of fix.

unloop-mcp watches for that pattern and helps break the cycle.

It looks for cases like:

• the same error coming back
• edits that stay too close to the last fix
• repeated changes with no outcome
• a loop that keeps shifting the bug instead of removing it

This gives your assistant a chance to step back and try a different route.

🧩 Common ways to use it

You can use unloop-mcp while working on:

• app bugs that keep returning
• bad code edits from an assistant
• broken build fixes that never settle
• refactors that trigger new errors
• coding sessions where the AI keeps guessing

It is useful when you want less back-and-forth and more progress.

🛠️ Basic setup tips

For the smoothest setup:

• keep the downloaded file in a simple folder path
• avoid spaces in folders if your tool has path issues
• use the latest release
• restart your coding tool after adding the server
• test it with a small project first

If something does not connect on the first try, check that the file path is correct and that your tool supports MCP.

📁 Typical folder layout

A simple setup can look like this:

• Downloads
  • unloop-mcp
    • app file or server file
    • config files
    • release notes

Keeping the files in one place makes it easier to point your tool at the right path.

🧪 What to expect after launch

Once running, the server should sit in the background and watch for repeated fix patterns.

You may notice that your coding assistant:

• pauses before repeating the same change
• shifts to a new line of reasoning
• stops chasing the same error over and over
• asks for a different path

That is the intended behavior.

🔐 Safe use

Use the download from the official Releases page only.

If Windows shows a standard security prompt, review the file name and source before you open it.
