## What it is
Usertour is an open-source, self-hostable user onboarding platform for creating in-app product tours, checklists, surveys, banners, and announcements via a visual builder and JavaScript SDK. It ships a built-in MCP server so AI assistants like Claude Code or Cursor can author, theme, and publish onboarding flows, and it serves as an open-source alternative to Appcues, Userflow, and Pendo.

## Use cases
- create in-app product tours without code
- self-host an alternative to Appcues or Userflow
- add onboarding checklists and NPS surveys to my app
- build onboarding flows with an AI assistant via MCP
- show in-app announcements and tooltips to users
- run user onboarding with full data control on my own infrastructure

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Appcues, Userflow, Pendo, or Chameleon
- you need product tours, checklists, surveys, and banners from one SDK
- you want to keep user data on your own infrastructure
- you want AI assistants to author onboarding flows through an MCP server

## When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight tooltip library without a management dashboard
- you require a fully permissive license for all components (core is MIT but the license is mixed)
- you need a fully managed SaaS with no self-hosting involvement and prefer vendor support
