# gotoHuman MCP Server

gotoHuman makes it easy to add **human approvals** to AI agents and agentic workflows.  
A fully-managed async human-in-the-loop workflow with a customizable approval UI.  
Enjoy built-in auth, webhooks, notifications, team features, and an evolving training dataset.

Use our MCP server to request human approvals from your AI workflows via MCP or add it to your IDE to help with integration.
