Agentation (GitHub)

Source and npm install path for the Agentation visual feedback overlay

Tier A · StrongAI ToolMCP ServerToolgithub.com

The source repository for Agentation, 'the visual feedback tool for agents' — a dev dependency that renders an annotation overlay in your running app and emits structured context for AI coding agents. The README covers the `npm install agentation -D` setup, React 18+ desktop-only support, click/text/area annotation, animation freezing, dark and light mode, and the zero-runtime-dependency build; the /mcp directory holds the companion MCP server. Licensed PolyForm Shield 1.0.0, so the code is readable and freely usable in your own products but is not OSI open source. Use this record when you need the install command, licence terms or issue tracker rather than the marketing site.

Install

npm install agentation -D

For an agent

Go here for the exact package name and the licence text before you add Agentation to a client codebase — PolyForm Shield is not MIT and a naive 'it's on GitHub so it's open source' assumption will be wrong in a dependency audit. The MCP server is a separate package (`agentation-mcp`), so installing only `agentation` gives you copy-paste output and nothing live. Note the repo pushed last in June 2026 while the docs site moves faster; trust the site for MCP tool names and the repo for install and licence.

Why it is here. Duplicate of the product site as an entry, but it is the authoritative source for licence and versioning — the two things that decide whether a team can actually adopt it.
